Discipline-Specific Curriculum Topics

The curriculum for the Software Engineering program has been designed to ensure that students both gain a broad engineering perspective and acquire in-depth knowledge in their own discipline. This plan covers the following core topics.

Common Topics

• Advanced Mathematics: Discrete mathematics, linear algebra, and differential equations; probability and statistics applications; physics supported by experimental studies.
• Software and System Analysis: Algorithm analysis, software development techniques, complex data structures, data storage topics; software and hardware analysis and design of complex systems.

Topics Specific to Software Programs

• Complex Software Systems: Applied professional topics including processes for verification and management of complex software systems.

These topics may be included in the curriculum as standalone courses or may be covered within the content of various other courses.
