Abstract	This course introduces both theoretical and applied aspects of software engineering. It covers: - Software Architecture - Informal and formal Modeling - Design Patterns - Software Engineering Principles - Code Refactoring - Program Testing
Learning objective	The course has two main objectives: - Obtain an end-to-end (both, theoretical and practical) understanding of the core techniques used for building quality software. - Be able to apply these techniques in practice.
Content	While the lecture will provide the theoretical foundations for the various aspects of software engineering, the students will apply those techniques in project work that will span over the whole semester - involving all aspects of software engineering, from understanding requirements over design and implementation to deployment and change requests.
Lecture notes	no lecture notes
