Course Information:
College: College of Science and Technology
Division: Division of Information and Communication Sciences
Department(s): Department of Electronic Engineering
Area Of Study: Computing, Engineering and Technology
Course Type: Undergraduate
Degree Type: Bachelor Degree
CRICOS Code: 047326A
Key Features:
Software engineering is the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software. The discipline of software engineering encompasses knowledge, tools, and methods for defining software requirements, and performing software design, software construction, software testing, and software maintenance tasks. Software engineering also draws on knowledge from fields such as computer engineering, computer science, management, mathematics, project management, quality management, software ergonomics, and systems engineering. Software engineers create, maintain and modify computer and software programs such as operating systems, communications software, utility programs, and compilers. 
Suitable For:
This degree program prepares students for a rewarding career in software engineering and related areas. This degree immerses students in the engineering science of quality software development and equips students with knowledge and experience in traditional software engineering areas such as: formal specification methodologies, software development, requirements analysis, information systems analysis and design, quality control and testing and human-computer interaction.  
Career Opportunities:
A broad range of career opportunities exist for engineers from sales, management, technical projects, and research and development. Engineering graduates are recognised for their ability to easily adapt to a broad range of jobs.
