Program description
Today, enhance your future as a software engineer. You will learn how to apply engineering principles to computer software through our program. You will acquire technical knowledge and skills regarding software design, development, maintenance, testing, and evaluation. You will take courses in areas such as engineering, business, computer science, and project management as you progress through the program. The Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) of Engineers Canada has accredited the BEng in Software Engineering program.
Software engineer graduates perform tasks beyond programming. They contribute innovative solutions to the manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, government, and digital media industries. Our graduates administer the computer tools and applications utilized by these industries.
The Bachelor of Engineering in Software Engineering programme offers solid foundations in the concepts and practise of software system development, as well as related computing technologies. Theoretical ideas are applied to practical problems in project-based learning practises.
Graduates of the software engineering school are prepared for careers in software application development, software testing, software design, database management, network management and operations, security analysis and protection, and other fields.
