Abstract
In the early years of computing, when the new technology was restricted to college campuses and government sponsored labs, software development was often limited to the practice of computer programming, and consisted of writing specific software solutions to unique scientific queries. Today, though, with the use of computers in nearly every imaginable field, simply attempting to program a solution is not enough. Instead, processes borrowed from the field of engineering were applied to the building of software systems to create the field of software engineering.
