The Bachelor of Software Engineering (BSWEng) has been designed to prepare students for a successful career in the software industry and the information technology sector by offering a breadth and depth of knowledge of software engineering that combines theory and practice of Computer Science and Engineering.
Goals
The main goal of the Software Engineering program is to offer to its students a wide Software Engineering education that will enable them to apply the principles of computer science, design, engineering, management, mathematics and other disciplines to solve engineering problems.
The overall goals of the Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering Program are:
-
To prepare students for software engineering positions in industry or government.
-
To provide a solid foundation in Computer Science and Software Engineering principles that will allow graduates to adapt effectively in a quickly changing field.
-
To prepare students for graduate study in Software Engineering.
