Software Engineering

The Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) program in Software Engineering offers integrated studies in the principles and practice of software systems development and related computer and telecommunications technologies. The Software Engineering program provides breadth and depth in fundamental computing theory and practice, processes, methods and tools for developing software systems, and regulatory and social issues. In addition, students receive a solid foundation in mathematics, the physical sciences, and engineering science and design. Emphasis is placed on developing expertise in object-oriented programming (using C++ and Java) and real-time computer systems.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

The objective of the Software engineering program is to graduate practical, qualified engineers who can successfully pursue careers in the computing profession or similar areas

On graduating, students will be well-versed in all aspects of software engineering. As well as having a solid background in software development, they’ll also have knowledge of multiple specialisms in various fields relating to software engineering, which will benefit you during your early years as a computing professional.

Learning Outcome:

• Graduates will be able to design software systems and define architectures in open and distributed environments in a holistic and integrative manner.
• Graduates will learn to apply the best software engineering practices and standards to software development and the evolution of diverse types of software systems.
• Graduates will learn to analyze and develop digital business models and value creation practices through the re-engineering of processes and services.
• Graduates will also be able to evaluate the business impact and cost benefits of digitalization on individuals, organizations, society and the world, and design supporting enterprise architectures.

Admission Requirements:

A minimum of 2 A-Levels in Science including Mathematics.

Graduation Requirements:
