Study Notes
Software Engineering
- A systematic approach to developing, operating, and maintaining software
- Involves applying engineering principles to ensure quality, reliability, and efficiency of software systems
- Encompasses techniques, methodologies, tools, and processes
Types of Software Engineering
- Application Software Engineering: Developing software applications that fulfill specific user requirements (e.g., web applications, mobile apps, desktop software)
- System Software Engineering: Designing and developing software that provides a platform for other software to run on (e.g., operating systems, compilers, device drivers)
- Embedded Software Engineering: Developing and testing software embedded within hardware devices or systems (e.g., Automotive Embedded Systems, Digital home appliances, Industrial Control Systems)
- Enterprise Software Engineering: Developing software solutions for large-scale enterprises to automate processes, manage data, and facilitate communication
- Game Development: Creating video games, including game engines, graphics, audio, and animation
Hardware Engineering
- Designing, developing, and testing physical components of computer systems and electronic devices
- Focuses on designing and constructing hardware components such as processors, memory devices, circuit boards, sensors, etc.
