Brief Introduction to Software Engineering discipline

This discipline studies the definition, development, releasing and maintenance of software products meeting the demands of users according to budget and schedule by applying computer science theories and technologies and principles and methods of engineering management. The research object of software engineering is software system, which covers software science and software engineering. The key point of research is how to find the basic rules of software credibility, measurement and evolution to face the challenges of complexity, openness, and evolution confronted by modern software; the focus of engineering is to develop reliable and handy products by the comprehensive use of scientific methods, all kinds of scientific knowledge and the deep understanding of the various factors of acceptable products.

This discipline confers bachelor’s and master’s degrees and is the main supporting discipline for Manufacturing Industry Informatization. Over the years, this discipline focuses on the discipline construction and teaching and scientific research to improve academic level, and adheres to the close integration of research orientation and regional economic construction to realize featured and interdisciplinary development. This discipline has formed 3 characteristic, strong, promising and locally superior research orientations such as the soft computing theory and application, pattern recognition and image processing and enterprise information system and has achieved a series of important research results and well social and economic benefits and takes the leading position in Gansu, which has great influence on the social and economic development of western area.
