1 00:00:00,350 --> 00:00:03,570 Hi, everybody, and welcome to the first lesson 2 00:00:03,570 --> 00:00:07,970 of the Software Engineering Course. In this introductory lesson 3 00:00:07,970 --> 00:00:09,820 I will first provide an overview of the 4 00:00:09,820 --> 00:00:13,100 whole course and then try to answer two important 5 00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:16,630 questions about software engineering, which are, what is 6 00:00:16,630 --> 00:00:20,310 software engineering and why do we need it? And 7 00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:22,370 to spice up the content a bit I 8 00:00:22,370 --> 00:00:25,480 will also interview several experts in the software engineering 9 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,080 field from both academia and industry and ask them these 10 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,410 very questions. So without any further ado, let's begin the lesson.
