Computer Software Engineering

Graduates of this program are prepared to make meaningful contributions to a software development group. Typical jobs for graduates might include test engineer, release engineer, or customer support engineer. Students may continue on to a Bachelor of Science Degree in Software Engineering, which adds an understanding of software development and significantly more technical depth.

Students with an Associate of Science in Computer Software Engineering will be able to:
  • Demonstrate fluency in multiple languages, including one object-oriented language and one scripting language
  • Understand the fundamentals of computer hardware, including understanding assembly language
  • Develop complete web sites
  • Understand the behaviors and implementation of computer networking
  • Understand basic principles for developing and deploying high quality software systems
  • Understand how to manage systems, including UNIX based computers
  • Work effectively in a group software development effort
  • Understand the historical and social context of information technology
In addition, all graduates must actively participate in the design and development of a software system and present the results of that effort.

The student, in conjunction with the department chair, may develop a sequence of courses to best meet his or her background and needs that still satisfies the degree requirements. The typical curriculum taken by students is given below.

The normal number of credits required for the degree is 63.
