Overview
Software is taking the planet by storm, and the Software Engineering Technology program will provide you with three years of learning in designing, developing and maintaining software systems.
During this time, you’ll attend advanced diploma courses covering modern programming languages, design and algorithm concepts, data management tools and modern software engineering methodologies. The program will also expose you to a solid knowledge of systems integration, enterprise programming, mobile computing and software security specialization.
The coursework in this college engineering program will emphasize object-oriented software design methodologies, user-oriented interface design, software testing and QA, C#, Java, Java EE, Oracle, MS-SQL server, UNIX/Linux, Python, Microsoft’s ASP.NET Core, HTML5/JavaScript/Angular, mobile application development, emerging web frameworks, cloud computing, data mining and more.
The Software Engineering Technology program will include two software development projects to round out the curriculum’s technical focus. For these real-world business applications, you’ll put into action all the technical, systems and business skills acquired during your courses to build higher-quality software.
Co-op Option
The co-op option will allow you to gain hands-on experience while you complete three co-op work terms as an employee in the field. This experience not only allows you to put classroom learning into practice but will also provide valuable contacts for your future career.
To participate in this co-op option, you must complete an application process in the second semester. If academically qualified, you may be admitted to the co-op program.
When you graduate, your diploma will highlight the co-op credential.
