Software engineering

Software Engineering is the study and application of engineering to the design, development, and maintenance of software.

The field is one of the youngest of engineering, having been started in the early 1940s and the term itself not used until 1968. As such, there is still much controversy within the field itself as to what the term means and if it is even the best term to describe the field. Other terms such as software development and information technology are widely used instead.
