Software Engineering is the newest branch of Engineering. The Software Engineering curriculum deals with the components of the software process and the technical skills necessary to apply that process in a systematic, disciplined and quantifiable manner. Students also acquire the management skills needed to lead a team that can engineer software and meet appropriate quality standards within specified cost and time schedules. In addition to a number of specialized topics in software engineering, the program also includes courses on fundamental topics in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science.
