Software engineering is the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software. It encompasses techniques and procedures, often regulated by a software development process, with the purpose of improving the reliability and maintainability of software systems.

The discipline of software engineering includes knowledge, tools, and methods for software requirements, software design, software construction, software testing, and software maintenance tasks.[5] Software engineering is related to the disciplines of computer science, computer engineering, management, mathematics, project management, quality management.


The U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 760,840 software engineers holding jobs in the U.S.; in the same time period there were some 1.4 million practitioners employed in the U.S. in all other engineering disciplines combined. Due to its relative newness as a field of study, formal education in software engineering is often taught as part of a computer science curriculum.

Hi,

The computer science discipline concerned with developing large applications. Software engineering covers not only the technical aspects of building software systems, but also management issues, such as directing programming teams, scheduling, and budgeting.

Software Engineering is defined as the discipline whose aim is the production of fault-free or fault-tolerant software that satisfies th user's needs and that is delivered on time and within budget.

The scope of software engineering realated to job are very high.

Hi there

Software engineering is the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software. It encompasses techniques and procedures, often regulated by a software development process, with the purpose of improving the reliability and maintainability of software systems.The effort is necessitated by the potential complexity of those systems, which may contain millions of lines of code.

The term software engineering was popularized by F.L. Bauer during the NATO Software Engineering Conference in 1968.[citation needed] The discipline of software engineering includes knowledge, tools, and methods for software requirements, software design, software construction, software testing, and software maintenance tasks. Software engineering is related to the disciplines of computer science, computer engineering, management, mathematics, project management, quality management, software ergonomics, and systems engineering.

well, Software Engineering has lots of scope. It needs a lot of creativity. If you can prove your skills during interview, internship, campus selection etc.. you have bright future.

Software companies are always in search of good programmers. You can earn in millions per month.
