Many practicing software engineers have little or no formal education in software engineering. Unless a deliberate software engineering approach is followed, the cost of development will probably be higher than necessary. Written in a question and answer format, What Every Engineer Should Know about Software Engineering provides a general framework for understanding the profession of software engineering. It covers topics including designing software, building software, and software quality assurance. This valuable reference is ideal for undergraduate and graduate engineering students as well as practicing engineers.
