Software Engineering Department

The Software Engineering Department is a branch of engineering that focuses on the design, development, and maintenance of high-quality software. This field emphasizes the application of engineering principles and scientific methodologies to ensure the creation of software systems that are efficient, sustainable, scalable, and reliable.

“The study of software engineering includes several fields such as:”

• Analysing Requirements: Identifying customers and users needs and how to satisfy them using software system.
• Software Designing: Setting construction and structuring system that includes using  of design models  and  management of software architecture.
• Software Development: Setting of codes and software using appropriate  software programming languages.
• Testing software: To ensure that the system is error free and operating in accordance with the requirements.
• Software maintenance: updating and modifying software in accordance with the new required technical changes and needs.

Software engineering also focuses on the principles of managing software projects, determining the best ways to organize software teams, and ensuring that development processes adhere to timelines and meet quality standards.
