Bachelor of Science Degree in Software Engineering

2004 - 2006 catalog

The Software Engineering program includes a core of disciplines fundamental to software development, complemented by selected courses in application fields where software is becoming a major tool.

The software core includes courses in data structures, operating systems, computer architecture, object oriented programming, object oriented analysis and design, UNIX programming and Internals. Specialized courses in database management, networking and security are also offered.

The capstone course for all specializations is the Senior Project, a design/research course which validates the preparation of the software engineering students to propose, implement, and document a software project under the guidance of an advisor.
