Software Engineering is a major stream within the Bachelor of Engineering degree designed to offer students fundamental knowledge and skills in software engineering, encouraging strong design skills and best practice programming in a range of languages. Software Engineering core knowledge emphasises issues such as requirements engineering, quality, reliability, useability and safety critical issues, all with process improvement. Software Engineering is concerned with the construction of computer software to a very high standard. Sometimes software is extremely complex, as in air traffic control systems and sometimes it has to be produced rapidly and flexibly, as for e-commerce applications. You can study Software Engineering at UWA as part of the Bachelor of Engineering (Software Engineering). You can combine a Bachelor of Engineering (Software Engineering) with: Commerce, Science (in Applied Mathematics, Chemistry, Mathematical Sciences, Mathematical Statistics, Physics or Pure Mathematics) Level 1
All engineering students follow a common course in Level 1, allowing you the flexibility of selecting any engineering stream at the end of the level. The subjects include mathematics, engineering fundamentals and physics, plus electives from a variety of engineering streams. Upper levels
