Annotation
The course A Practical Approach to The Software Engineering systematically covers primary and support software engineering activities. Further, software project management, software process, software maintenance and software proposal writing will be mentioned for an
appropriate context. All topics covered will be illustrated on real world project situations. A typical lecture will include theory basics, minimal practices, checklists and templates, samples from real world projects and recommended reading.
Study targets
The course aims to clearly and comprehensively discuss the fundamental aspects of Software Engineering in practice on real projects in real life. Our main goal is to illustrate the normal project life, the students who come most likely in the near and distant future to contact.
