About

Software Engineering (SE) is a discipline within Computer Science and Information Technology (CSIT) at RMIT University. Software Engineering, as defined by the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK, IEEE Computer Society) is the application of engineering to software – a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software – and the study of approaches to software engineering as just defined.

Purpose

• provide a focus for research in software engineering;
• comprise a collection of funded research grants and projects administered within CSIT;
• include industry projects and networks with academic and research programmes of leading IT providers;
• assist CSIT in its RQF submission and evaluation;
• and last but not least, create a research-teaching nexus with the "Software Engineering and Architecture" education focus of CSIT as currently presented in our various undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.
