Software Engineering Program

Software Engineering is concerned with both the process of developing software and with the quality of the product. This includes correct, timely, reliable, safe and secure operations on information; with its communication, storage and presentation; with rapid, economical and correct development of software; and with understanding users' needs in situations where these are not clear. Software Engineers will understand tools such as languages for programming and for defining requirements, designs and tests. They will understand software environments, computer technologies, and the physical limitations of the technologies. They will be responsible for planning, analysis, design, implementation, testing, maintenance and evolution of software systems. Such systems may include data communications, data processing, transaction processing, transportation management (such as air traffic control), communications switching, distributed multimedia systems manipulation sound, images, data, and video, client-server systems and all kinds of network applications, Software engineers will understand how to practice socially responsible engineering, in a situ
ation where they are at the leading edge of change in society through technology.
