BS Software Engineering
Objectives
The program's goal is to educate students for professional jobs in software engineering and doctoral study in the field. There is a balance between computer theory and practical application of software engineering principles such as software project management, methods, tools, and technologies in contemporary software development environments. Graduates of such a curriculum will be capable of working as competent software engineers and team players. In addition, they'll be well-versed in communication, mathematics, and physics, as well as the cultural, historical, and societal factors that impact and affect the creation of high-quality software systems.
They'll be familiar with and have expertise with software product engineering and engineering management, as well as a grasp of professional problems and procedures. In addition, graduates will be able to recognise and evaluate their skills and performance in software engineering.
Role and Scope
- The usefulness of a degree in terms of future employment possibilities and continuous development in the aforementioned is its scope.
- There is a need for curriculum frameworks capable of meeting the demands of a knowledge-driven, complex work environment in the twenty-first century.
- The main goal of the BS computer science programme is to provide a curriculum that integrates all of the components and establishes the foundations for accessing all new information and technology to realise the future vision.
