1. Introduction
1.1 The Discipline of Software Engineering
Software Engineering is the discipline of creating high-quality software

environment in a systematic, controlled and efficient manner, while
maintaining it affordably. It involves the application of engineering
concepts, techniques, and methods to develop the software systems. A
software engineering program develops professionals who have a mastery
of software development principles, theory, practice, and process. Software
Engineering aims to use the science and technology already available to
create products and tools for use. Software Engineering derives its essence
from computer science as other engineering disciplines do from natural or
life sciences, with an emphasis on issues of process, design, measurement,
analysis and verification providing a strong foundation in engineering
principles and practices as applied to software development.
1.2 Vision
The Software Engineering education at MCS NUST is focused on

imparting the knowledge and training to students which enable them to
harmonize theory with practice, concept with application, and problem
with solution. It prepares them to ably apply engineering principles,
processes and practices to software components and systems, and their
maintenance. The program also, in addition to students professional
growth, attends to development of their personal and interpersonal skills. It
helps students to enhance their ability in oral and written communication,
and their adaptability to group-work environments. The program strives to
develop a capacity in the professionals for innovation and a passion for life
long learning. SE curricula thus developed reflect the aim to satisfy
professional demands of the industry and academia. The graduates thus
produced are adequately equipped to exploit the opportunities and answer
the challenges offered by the modern world.
1.3 Aim
The aim of Department of Computer Software Engineering is to Conduct

Bachelor of Engineering in Software Engineering, Master of Science in

Pre Requisites: It is the subject or course that is essential to complete

before taking the required subject or course.
Credits Hours: A lecture of one hour duration per week per semester for
a subject countable towards a students Cumulative Grade Point Average,
will be considered as one credit hour. However, in case of seminars,
tutorials and laboratory work, one credit hour requires three contact hours
depending upon the nature of subject.
Contact Hours A lecture of one credit hour duration per week is equal to
one contact hour per week and a lab of one credit hour per week is equal to
3 contact hour per week depending on the subject.
Cumulative Sum of contact hours for a lectures and its essential lab work
for particular subject or course.
Subject or Course A Subject or Course means a topic or a subject
related to an academic programme, which is to be studied by a student for a
fixed number of hours during a semester. Each subject will carry a specific
faculty code and number.

The objectives of the course are to acquaint the students with the
Object Oriented concepts and terminology and to provide them
with a solid foundation for developing software using the object
paradigm. By the course completion, students should be
proficient in OO programming using C++ and have learnt the
basics of Object Oriented analysis and design. Students should
then be able to develop software solutions to a variety of
problems given to them easily.
