Software Engineering
Covers software engineering concepts including project management metrics (earned value analysis, variance tracking), UML modeling (state charts, stereotypes, tagged values), prototyping methods (high/low fidelity, horizontal, presentation), and information systems (operational, status enquiry, data analysis)
