This course is an intensive introduction to basic software development practices for scientists and engineers that can reduce the time they spend programming by 20-25%.
Judging from the table of contents and a quick sampling of a few lectures, that's mostly about programming (with a strong Python flavour), and the material about the engineering process is pretty simplistic, I'd say. On the other hand, the bibliography does have the following to say about the book I recommended:
