STEM program

Program Description

The Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering equips students with the essential digital skills in high demand across industries. Software engineers play a key role in developing smart solutions, from mobile apps to systems for the Internet of Things, while also addressing the ethical and social impacts of technology. This program focuses on core areas of computer science, such as software design, validation, verification, data analysis, and project management. Students gain a solid foundation in programming, object-oriented design, security, and networks, with hands-on experience in various coding paradigms. Graduates are well-prepared to enter the workforce or pursue advanced studies in software engineering.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the program, students will be able to:

• Demonstrate proficiency in core knowledge areas of computer science, including but not limited to software development, algorithms, data structures, computer organization, hardware, architecture, data and information management.
• Apply ethical principles and understand the impact of technology on social issues and professional practices, promoting responsible and socially aware technology solutions.
• Demonstrate written and oral communication skills for conveying technical concepts clearly and professionally.听
• Apply their problem-solving skills and knowledge of data and information management.
• Apply software engineering principles, practices and methodologies to develop and maintain software systems. They will demonstrate proficiency in software design development, testing, and project management, contributing to the creation of high-quality software solutions.听
• Apply algorithms and data structures, design efficient and scalable software solutions. Analyze algorithmic complexities, optimize code, and employ data structures to manage and manipulate information effectively.听
• Identify computer organization, hardware components, and system architectures. They will apply this knowledge to optimize software for specific hardware components, and system architectures.听
• Evaluate and analyze software systems to identify and address issues in design and functionality.
