Software Engineering Track

Objectives

The track is designed to prepare students to become software engineers who:

  • understand and can use the principles and techniques of software engineering essential for the design and development of large software products,
  • are familiar with and can effectively use a variety of tools for software analysis, design, testing, and maintenance, and

  • can effectively work in teams and communicate orally and in writing.

All major required courses, all track requirements and track selectives, and their pre-requisites, regardless of department, must be completed with a grade of C or better.
