Bachelor of Computer Science (Software Engineering)
B.CScSE
2008
Program Outline
In recognition of the need for a program that gives graduates specific training in Software Engineering, this program was developed. Within this program students will gain the necessary skills for work in this area, including the organisational and project management skills vital for a successful career. They will also have a strong foundation in the fundamentals of computing and gain valuable experience in designing, constructing and testing large software systems through extensive project work.
The role of software engineers is increasingly vital in all aspects of transforming ideas into professional software solutions. Graduates from this program will be able to analyse problems and apply software engineering techniques to design computer-based solutions for a wide range of applications. They will be competent programmers in one or more programming languages and have a firm understanding of the relationship between software and hardware. Graduates will be trained for employment in the wide range of fields requiring software engineering skills, including data analysis, information management, data processing, real-time process control, embedded systems, computer graphics and visualisation.
Students wishing to enter the Bachelor of Computer Science (Software Engineering) apply through SATAC for a place in the Bachelor of Computer Science. A transfer to the Software Engineering program can be undertaken at any time during the student's enrolment provided the correct courses have been either completed or are to be completed. Students apply for transfer via the Faculty Student Office.
