Recommended books:  

1. Software Engineering: A Practitioner’s Approach, Roger Pressman, McGraw-Hill, 2001.

2. Object-Oriented Software Engineering, Stephan Schach, Irwin, 1999.

3. Software Engineering, I. Sommerville, 7th edition (Pearson Education Limited, 2004).

Course Assessment Strategy:

 

Term work--- 20%

Assignments (min 2) + Class Quiz (min 4) + Class Participation = [10 + 8 +2]

 

- Quizzes might be surprise or declared, similarly Assignments might be individual or for group of students.

- A quiz will carry 10 marks whereas each assignment will be of 20 marks.

- Generally the assignments are given based on literature survey to find solution of the given real world software engineering problem.

- The assignment will be submitted by the students according to the instructions, in the form of soft or hard copy and by using ACM template.  

 

Mid term exam--- 30%

The exam will be from the topics covered till mid term. The paper will be containing both objectives and subjective type questions from the whole syllabus; however questions will be logical and mandatory.

 

Final Exam--- 50%

This exam will comprise of two parts:

Software engineering project + Paper = [10+40]

 

(1) The SE Project will be based on any of the phases of SDLC.

(2) The paper will be containing both objectives and subjective type questions from the whole syllabus; however questions will be logical and mandatory.
