Evolution of Organizing Study Courses

“The Search” contains structured information on study courses, technical skills, and technical tools across the following areas of specialization:

§  Basic Sciences of the Specialization: Mathematics and Physics

§  Major Specialization: Computer Science

§  Minor Specialization: Software Engineering

§  Professional Specializations: Software Development and Software Quality Engineering

“The Search” versions reflect the evolution of how study courses, technical skills, and technical tools are organized.

“The Search” study course versions demonstrate the progressive structuring of Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, and Software Engineering curricula

§  “The Search” v0.9 includes the study courses I completed during my undergraduate studies.

§  In subsequent versions (v0.9.1, v0.9.2, up to v1.0), the study courses were refined to be more structured, comprehensive, and mature.

§  These modifications include removing courses that are covered within more comprehensive courses, as well as adding new courses in line with academic and specialization advancements.

§  The Mathematics and Physics study courses were revised to focus exclusively on topics that directly support the fields of Computer Science and Software Engineering.
