What does Software Engineering mean? (II)

In the last lecture, we had an interesting discussion about the definition of Software Engineering. Most of the students made their suggestions, and we shared different points of view. Finally, professor Dave Ackley wrote the following explanatory graph:

This chart defines four dimensions: "see", "judge", "prediction" and "action". On one hand, science  (green) usually gathers "see" and "prediction". We can say that science does not imply knowing "how to do it". In contrast, engineering discipline (blue) is commonly based on "actions" and "predictions". Therefore, "how to do it" is what really matters.

Software engineering is exactly the union between both science and engineering (green + blue). We need to put both together in order to get the whole meaning associated to this term, which involves other features such as being creative.
