Hi, everybody, and welcome to the first lesson
of the Software Engineering Course. In this introductory lesson
I will first provide an overview of the
whole course and then try to answer two important
questions about software engineering, which are, what is
software engineering and why do we need it? And
to spice up the content a bit I
will also interview several experts in the software engineering
field from both academia and industry and ask them these
very questions. So without any further ado, let's begin the lesson.
