On computers are powered by software, which consists of guidelines, data or tools to perform tasks. In contrast hardware refers to the parts of a computer. Software encompasses applications, scripts and programs that operate on a device and can be seen as the element of a computer system whereas hardware remains constant. There are two categories of software; application software and system software. Application software is designed to carry out functions or tasks while system software provides a foundation, for running applications and manages the computers hardware resources.

What is Software Engineering? Software engineering  is the branch of computer science that deals with the  design, development, testing, and maintenance of software applications . Software engineers apply engineering principles and knowledge of programming languages to build software solutions for end users. Software engineers design and develop computer games, business applications, operating systems, network control systems, and middleware—to name just a few of the many career paths available. A career as a software engineer can be both fun and challenging with opportunities to work in almost any industry, including large and small businesses, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, healthcare facilities, and more. And as technology continues to evolve, the need for software developers continues to grow. Many companies are also shifting towards hiring software engineers who work from home, allowing for  increased flexibility and more opportunities  to enter t...

Engineering is an art of formulating, developing and enhancing the performance of systems, buildings, apparatuses and procedures through the use of quantitative analysis, creative methodologies in problem solving and application of theories. Engineers address problems by following a design process that comprises identification, research, concept development, prototyping testing and refinement to overcoming hurdles. Engineering goes beyond coming up with solutions to problems; it involves innovating approaches to increase productivity, sustainable growth and safety in various industries such as information technology sectors, manufacturing sectors, construction industry sectors, energy production areas and transportation issues. This discipline transforms knowledge into practical implementations that improve people’s lives while at the same time responding to global challenges thereby serving as a bridge between discoveries made on one hand and their applications in real life on the oth...
