Course Overview

Modern society could not function without large software systems. National utilities and infrastructure, energy, communications, health, business and transport all rely on complex and large applications. With the increasing complexity of these software systems comes a growing difficulty in building and delivering a correct and robust solution to customers on time and on budget. Such software cannot be produced successfully, safely and efficiently without following some constraining and managing processes. This is the domain of the software engineer.
