Program overview
As software becomes ever more common in everything from airplanes to appliances, there is an increasing demand for engineering professionals who can develop high-quality, cost-effective software systems. The BS in software engineering combines traditional computer science and engineering with specialized course work in software engineering.
Students learn principles, methods, and techniques for the construction of complex and evolving software systems. The major encompasses technical issues affecting software architecture, design, and implementation as well as process issues that address PROJECT MANAGEMENT, planning, quality assurance, and product maintenance. Upon graduation, students are prepared for immediate employment and long-term professional growth in software development organizations.
Accreditation
The BS degree in software engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
Plan of study
An important component of the curriculum is complementary course work in related disciplines. As with other engineering fields, mathematics and the natural sciences are fundamental. In addition, students must complete courses in related fields of engineering, business, or science. Two engineering electives, plus a three-course sequence in an application domain, enable students to connect software engineering principles to application areas. A required course in economics or finance bridges software engineering with the realities of the business environment.
Students also complete general education courses in the liberal arts and a required ethics course helps students develop a sense of professionalism and social responsibility in the technical world.
Electives
Engineering electives
Students may choose engineering electives from software engineering, computer science, or programs in Kate Gleason College of Engineering. Additional rules and restrictions are listed on the department website.
