This document discusses software engineering and provides definitions and context. It defines software as both a product and a vehicle for delivering functionality. Software engineering is introduced as applying engineering principles to the development, operation, and maintenance of software. The document notes that historically only 28% of software projects are completed on time and on budget, with time and cost overruns being common. It also mentions that software must change over time to meet new needs and integrate with other systems.
