SOFTWARE ENGINEERING Assignment 1 2004272 The acronym CASE stands for Computer – Aided Software Engineering which covers a wide range of different types of programs that are used to support software process activities. Software systems which are intended to provide automated support for software process activities. CASE systems are often used for method support. CASE tools are software systems that are designed to support routine activities in the software process such as editing design

have made the people to be in touch. Also‚ for the sales of products was necessary to build bridges as an alternative way to those people who didn´t have boats to transport their products. The bridges have been an amazing advance into the civil engineering field. As the time passed‚ the bridges were needed for transportation and to be used as communication routes. The bridges have been changing as needed‚ either to make them more efficient or innovative. Now day civil engineers are not only involved

Introduction: Every engineering field probably has a unique list of issues that will affect the student and is affecting employees in that particular field. One of the most prominent issues affecting the field of Industrial Systems Engineering is the communication barrier; Communication barrier between the upper management‚ the engineers‚ and the employees or the workforce on the factory floor. This barrier could prove to be a problem in the achieving the goal of efficiency at workplace. Discussion:

An appreciation of the assumptions underlying software engineering can lead to a better understanding of the applicability of structure and quality of work produced. Software plays an important role in business decision-making‚ and because of its growing importance‚ assumptions should not be excluded. Its seems

Should the engineers apply ‘rhetoric strategy’ to popularized technology? Abstract Nowadays‚ it is common for engineers to overpromise or exaggerate the technology’s advantages while neglecting its potential disadvantages in order to get more attention and investment‚ which is actually a form of ‘rhetoric strategy’. In this paper‚ the notion of ‘rhetoric’ in term of technical field will be briefly defined‚ including the definition‚ the applying stages and connection with ethic issues. To develop
