This document summarizes key points from a lecture on software engineering given by Dr. Thomas E. Potok at the University of Tennessee. It discusses using COCOMO models to estimate software project effort and duration based on lines of code and cost drivers. It also covers using PERT charts and estimates to model project tasks, durations, and calculate a critical path for scheduling. Examples are provided for estimating effort for a 10,000 line project using COCOMO and building a PERT chart to plan and schedule key tasks.
