Software Engineering programs have gained popularity in India. India has now produced several software engineers - Sabeer Bhatia, Narayana Murthy who are now known at an international level. Software Engineering is essentially an engineering field which deals with the development and maintenance of reliable and efficient software systems. It is moderately a young field in comparison to other fields of engineering. This field adopts a systematic approach towards operation, development and maintainenace of softwares.
This is a field where it covers methods, tools and knowledge for fulfilling software requirements and performs software design, software maintenance tasks, user interface design, computer programming and software testing. Software Engineeringas an interdisciplinary study includes the knowledge from various fields such as project management, management, mathematics, computer engineering, quality management and system engineering.
Software Engineers uses these principles and techniques of computer science, engineering, testing and evaluation of the software and systems that facilitate computers to perform their various applications. Software engineers can be implicated in the design and development of several types of softwares that includes operating systems software and network distribution which change programs for execution on a computer.
