SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

2 Unit Software Engineering

Software Engineering is a subset of Computer Science. Students undertaking this course will develop knowledge and understanding of software engineering, hardware and software integration, and the development, implementation and evaluation of computer programs.

Software Engineering promotes a deeper understanding of fundamental concepts, programming languages and innovative technologies. As a result, students will be gaining knowledge and skills that will assist them both in a wide range of further study options and in a range of workplaces where the ability to perform basic coding and programming is increasingly advantageous.

Software Engineering is built around project work (as seen in the diagram below) and students will develop and apply knowledge and practical skills in a range of areas that include:

• SQL

• JavaScript

• Python

• HTML & CSS

• Circuit Diagrams

Over both the year 11 and year 12 course, various Assessment types will be used including project based and examination. The HSC examination for this subject will be undertaken by students on computer.

This course is ideal for students wishing to learn more about computing technologies and who want opportunities to learn these technologies through practical, hands-on experiences.
