Learners will gain an understanding of the need for software engineering, and its different methods and techniques.

This module initially discusses the software engineering approach to the design and development of software, with emphasis placed on software engineering principles, traditional software development approaches and software modelling.

The module continues with discussion on key software engineering aspects and, in particular, analysis tasks, software development alignment to business information, and software engineering structures, roles and tasks.

Finally, the unit explains the software engineering approach to software and systems development, focusing on project management for software development, and modelling
