UNIVERSITY OF ZIMBABWE

DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

SOFTWARE ENGINEERING 2- EENG305 COURSE OUTLINE

Pre-requisite EENG205
Total contact time: 50 Hours

COURSE OBJECTIVES

This course delves into advanced topics in industrial software engineering, serving
as the second installment in a three-part series. It expands on foundational concepts
introduced in EENG205, with a strong emphasis on software reuse—including
components and applications—as a critical aspect of modern software development.
Key focus areas include:

 Distributed systems and client-server architectures.


 Service-oriented architectures (SOA), bridging software reuse and distributed
systems.

Designed to be completed in 12–14 weeks, the course equips students with practical
skills and theoretical knowledge to address complex engineering challenges in
industrial software contexts.
