The purpose of this assignment is to enable students to demonstrate their ability to interpret a set of laws that are part of the principles of software engineering, to evaluate principles of software engineering aspects within an industry in relation to the various elements covered, to apply them to cases drawn from technical and academic literature
Consider the following four laws given in the prescribed text:
Boehm
Requirement deficiencies are the prime source of project failures. (L1)
Parnas
Only what is hidden can be changed without risk. (L8)
Corbató
Productivity and reliability depend on the length of a program's text, independent of language level used. (L12)
Conway
A system reflects the organizational structure that built it. (LI6)
1. Describe each law in your own words. Define the terms in each law and explain the law clearly and thoroughly. Illustrate your explanation with practical examples - with at least one example for each law from software engineering.
2. The following diagram is from the text. Clearly and thoroughly explain the relationship between observation, law and theory. Illustrate your answer with examples - with at least one from software engineering.
The following diagram appears in the text.
In your own words clearly and thoroughly explain the relationship between Law, Method and Tool. Illustrate your answer with examples - at least one of which is from software engineering.
Your support material must be compiled from reliable sources such as the academic resources in Federation University library which might include, but not limited to: the main library collection, library databases and the BONUS+ collection as well as any reputable online resources (you should confirm this with your tutor).

Neglecting kinetic energy changes
: Helium is to be compressed from 120 kpa and 340 K to 700 kPa and 460 K. A heat loss of 20 kJ/kg occurs during the compression process. Neglecting kinetic energy changes, determine the power input required for a mass flow rate of 89 kg/min.

Obtain the force with which each officer pulled on the plane
: It's possible for a determined group of people to pull an aircraft. Drag is negligible at low speeds, and the only force impeding motion is the rolling friction of the rubber tires on the concrete runway. Estimate the force with which each officer ..

What is the pressure drop problem
: Water (25 degrees Celsius) flows through 1- inch Schedule 40 steel pipe at 2.0 gpm. What is the pressure drop along 5000 feet of smooth pipe? If the pipe is not smooth but rather commercial steel, what is the pressure drop?
