Course Objectives:
To introduce the essential software engineering concepts involved in developing software
products and components.
To impart skills in the design and implementation of efficient software systems across
disciplines and also ensure engineering practices and standards.
Course Outcome:
On completion of this course, the student will be able to
(1) Explain the principles of the engineering processes in software development
(2) Develop the software products using software management principles
(3) Classify the requirements specification of the software projects.
(4) Design the prototype of the software projects.
(5) Implement all the software development processes activities
(6) Support post maintenance of the software projects.
(7) Produce good quality software projects.

List of Challenging Experiments (Indicative)
1 Prepare a WBS for developing a customized social networking portal
for your institution.
2 Using the WBS estimate the effort that will be needed to finish the
product. Also give a detailed cost estimation & budget for completing
this project
3 Identify the Actors involved, modularize the problem, context of the
modules. Draw refined structures of DFD and make a functional model
of the system.
4 Impart dynamism to the functional model, so that the system behaves
in states and transition according to the requirements
5 Prepare the complete SRS
6 Detail the functional model of the system using UML diagrams in the
context of OO development
7 Evaluate the performance of the system in terms of load, stress,
endurance and scalability
