Program Details

Co-operative education is mandatory with this program. The French immersion stream is available with this program. Requirements for this program have been modified, and students should consult the calendars for the previous requirements. Software engineers are key professionals in fields such as high tech, finance, telecommunications, government, healthcare, transportation, and entertainment. During their fourth-year project, students in this program can form teams and leverage their work experience to create real applications, with some students even starting their own companies. They learn how to apply engineering principles, including rapid prototyping, requirements analysis, system modeling, design, implementation, testing, and project management, to develop software.
