Software Engineering: the Year 11 Course

Written specifically for NESA Software Engineering 11-12 Syllabus (2022) for implementation from 2024.

Year 11 Software Engineering is designed to help students think like a software engineer and build real software solutions to real problems. Students learn how to plan and create programs in a logical manner, breaking problems down into manageable components and combining these to build software solutions. Along the way, students use the tools and methods that software developers use in the real world.
