THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Software Engineering Competency Centre at Technopark would focus on bridging the gap between theoretical learning and practical implementation of software development through software engineering tools, said Chief Executive Officer of Technopark N. Radhakrishnan Nair.

He was speaking after inaugurating a two-day workshop on ‘software engineering-best practices and principles’ organised by the centre in association with the National Centre for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship and Se-Mentor on Friday.

The centre, which provides guidance to software development companies on how to build software engineering into software development process, is targeted primarily at software development companies, student and academic research community as well as IT entrepreneurs.

The uniqueness of this joint initiative, according to a statement issued by Technopark is that an easy access to engineering tools will be complemented by professionals who facilitate acquisition of new skills. The workshop was also attended by project directors, project managers, operation managers and team managers from Kozhikode and Malappuram.
