Computer Software Engineering (BS)

In addition to the student outcomes included in the associate program, a student with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Software Engineering will be able to:

1. Understand the behaviors and implementation of computer networking
2. Develop systems that utilize computer networking
3. Understand the requirements for developing and deploying high-quality, large-scale software systems
4. Design, implement, and evaluate a user interface for a computer system
5. Understand the concepts and practice of relational databases
6. Understand the security issues surrounding information technology and the appropriate tools and techniques to safeguard that security
7. Understand the workings of modern operating systems, both in theory and in practice
8. Work with an operating system using administrative tools
9. Demonstrate significant technical depth in areas approved by the Department Chair
10. Understand the professional, historical, and social context of information technology and make reasoned judgments about the social and ethical implications of their actions

All students actively participate in the design, development, and evaluation of a sizable software system and present the results of those efforts.

The student, in conjunction with the Department Chair, may develop a sequence of courses to best meet their background and needs that still satisfies the degree requirements. A typical curriculum is shown here.
