Question:
Steve McConnell is an author who has written numerous books on software engineering and development. In his book Rapid Development, McConnell points out that in engineering, design is usually a much smaller part of the total project than the actual construction. He compares bridgebuilding projects, where design is about 10 percent of the total effort and construction about 90 percent, to software development projects, where design is generally at least 50 percent of the total project effort. Explore and expand on this theme of the unique differences in software engineering compared to other types of engineering, and summarize your analysis and findings in a one to two-page paper. What do other software engineering leaders have to say on this topic?
