CSE503: Two primary objectives
Provide an overview of some of the most important
techniques and approaches that can help in producing
better software at more predictable costs
Understanding state-of-the-art, which may help you in your own
system building
To lay a foundation for performing research in software
engineering
Even though not all of you actually will!
This means that we will often discuss the intention and
effectiveness of techniques and approaches, as well as the
techniques and approaches themselves
