Aim
This program prepares graduates for professional careers in the software development industry by developing knowledge and skills in the theory and practice of software engineering.
Content & Structure
This four-year program taught over five-years is designed for students to become computer professionals specialising in software engineering while employed by an industry partner.
It will focus on the skills required for the development of large-scale and complex software systems, written and verbal communication in an engineering context, and the cultural, social, and ethical issues related to the development and use of technology in a global environment.
The program consists of:
Seven common introductory first year courses (31.5 units) in Information Technology
Seven intermediate courses (31.5 units)
Six advanced level courses (27 units) in software engineering
Industry Research Directions course (4.5 units); and
Seven honours level courses (36 units)
The program requires the completion of 31 courses (including 1 x 9-unit course) consisting of 144 units. It comprises 24 computer information technology core courses which provide theoretical and practical training in the traditional structure of university study. This program will be taught over 5-years in conjunction with the inhouse traineeship.
The estimated distribution of time required for students to participate in the program is as follows:
Year 1 - 73% on Campus (26 weeks 4 days/week at university)
Year 2 - 55% on Campus (26 weeks 3 days/week at university)
