Software Engineering

Software Engineering is a discipline that involves the application of engineering principles to software design, development, maintenance, testing, and evaluation. Coursera's Software Engineering catalogue educates you on the systematic approach used in the development and maintenance of software systems. You'll learn about software requirements, object-oriented design, data structures, algorithms, testing, and debugging techniques. You'll also gain insights into various software development methodologies, such as Agile and Waterfall, and get the opportunity to apply these principles in real-world projects. This knowledge will help you excel as a software engineer, improve software quality, and effectively manage software projects, irrespective of the industry you're working in.
