It is important to emphasize "divide and conquer," a fundamental tenet of software engineering practice, throughout the analysis and design phases to guarantee that the separation of concerns is being met (SoC). How would you go about describing the idea of system-on-a-chip to someone who didn't know what it was?

What are the universal principles of software engineering that may be applied to any system written in any programming language? I don't see the point in all of these regulations.

When formal development processes were first established in the early 1970s, software engineers had a very simple visual model of these phases. They assumed that one phase would run to completion, its output would spill over to the next phase, and the next phase would begin. This model is called the waterfall model of software development.  Could you please provide me with 5 disadvantages of using this model?

Is there a lack of understanding of any key ideas in software engineering? Explain?
