SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
design and develop the programs that run the digital world
Learn to apply engineering principles to the development of computer programs, data, and systems.
LAUNCH YOUR CAREER WITH DIGITAL INNOVATION.
The Morehosue Software Engineering Program drives technological innovation by developing the next generation of leaders. We focus on state-of-the-art engineering methods, emergent technologies, and the solutions needed to address the construction of large-scale computer systems and software applications in the real world. Coursework is balanced between computer science theory and practical application of software engineering methodology. Specific training is provided in the areas of programming, object-oriented methodology, data structures, discrete structures, software design, software maintenance, and software testing. This program concludes with a senior capstone project aimed to imitate agile experience in a formal work environment. Students will use the skills they developed to immerse themselves in tackling complex problems that lead to groundbreaking final products.
Outcomes
Our graduates are skilled programmers ready for careers in software engineering. They are effective technical communicators capable of working well in groups on computing problems. They demonstrate the ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems taking into consideration the impact of these solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
