The Department of Software Engineering deals with the entire process of software manufacturing. Software Engineering does not only involve writing software programmes but also includes the preparation and administration of quality of software development using time and budgets efficiently. The field also includes the implementation of various software principles and disciplines. Department of Software Engineering aims to teach our students the latest software technology, to bring up well trained and quality software experts. It is amongst our leading goals to create creative individuals who can use modern information technologies to design progressive software programmes. A life without computers and internet today is unimaginable. As the use of computers in our daily lives increase, the importance of computer software increases just as much. The impact of software programmes is felt in almost all steps of life, whether it is through computer operating systems, computer games, internet search engines, social media sites, online banking or smart phone applications. More importantly the importance of software programming can be seen when we look at where it used. Smart washing machines, smart phones, digital cameras, computer controlled security systems, missile defence systems used by militaries, spacecraft, surgical robots or industrial robot indispensable components of the 21st century require well designed and sophisticated software programming. In addition to basic engineering courses such as mathematics and physics, all freshman and junior year students are required to take English, introduction to software engineering, design and analysis of information systems, algorithmic, procedural and object based programming techniques, and basic programming courses (mainly 3rd generation programming languages such as C and C++). Junior year students (3rd year), in addition to standard software engineering courses, are required to take courses on software requirements, analysis, software design and architecture, programming quality, software standards as well as computer-human interaction, computer networking, databases and administration systems. Senior students (4th year final year) will be asked to pick 5 technical electives offered during the final semester (focusing mainly on 3rd generation programming languages Java and C#) in line with their area of interest. Students will also be required to submit a graduation program which will be spread to the final two semesters of the 4th year. The final project will be carried out under the supervision of an advisor to be picked by the student.
