This course introduces the fundamental principles, methodologies, and tools of software engineering. Students will learn how to effectively manage the complexity of software systems by applying software development life cycle (SDLC) models and best practices for design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. The course covers traditional and agile development approaches, software requirements engineering, software architecture, and design patterns, along with essential topics such as software testing, quality assurance, project management, and software maintenance.

Through hands-on projects and case studies, students will gain practical experience in developing and managing software systems, preparing them for real-world software engineering challenges. Special emphasis is placed on emerging trends like DevOps, cloud-based development, and AI in software engineering.
