STRU-SWENG v.1 Software Engineering Stream (BSc Science)

Major/Stream Overview

This major/stream is part of a larger course. Information is specific to the major/stream, please refer to the course for more information.


The principle objective of this stream is to produce graduates well-versed in the principles of design, measurement and analysis applied in the context of the development of software-based systems. The stream includes a strong foundation in the related discipline of computer science, but with emphasis on subjects relating to software requirements of gathering, design, implementation and testing. Students also receive a solid foundation in technical communication skills, professional responsibility, social effects, ethical aspects of software engineering practice, interpersonal relationships, team work and time management. The final year involves a group project of significant scope that gives graduates the opportunity to learn through practical application.
