The main research contents of software engineering are software development technology and software development process management. In the aspect of software development technology, it mainly studies software development methods, software development processes, software development tools and technologies. In software development process management, I mainly study software engineering economics and software management. Technology and management are two indispensable aspects in software development. Without scientific management, no matter how advanced technology is, it can't give full play to its role.

Employment direction of software engineering: engaged in software system development, mobile application development, artificial intelligence system construction, software testing, system operation and maintenance, etc. The main jobs are Java development engineer, website development engineer, mobile (Android/IOS) application development engineer, artificial intelligence engineer, software testing engineer, system architect and system after-sales engineer. In the next few years, high-level software talents at home and abroad will be in short supply.

Statistics show that China's software export scale has reached 21500 million yuan, and the number of software employees has reached 720,000. Among the top ten IT positions in China, software engineer ranks first, and the employment prospects of software engineering talents are very optimistic. At present, domestic software talents mainly lack two aspects, one is poor English level, and the other is lack of software development experience.
