Software Engineering (MSSE)

Description

The Master of Science in Software Engineering program at the 91福利社 is a 30 credit hour program with a focus on Software Engineering. It is designed to:

  • Produce graduates that are ready to work in industry, government, health, and education. The graduates will have both practical and theoretical educational experience in Software Engineering;
  • Provide software engineering educational experience that is rich in state-of-the-art laboratories, industry-related projects, and practical design skills which highlight teamwork, computer-based problem solving, communication skills, and ethical values needed for software engineers;
  • Prepare students to pursue a Doctorate degree in software engineering through a motivating, extensive, and state-of-the-art educational experience.

Program Vision
Our Vision is the lifelong success of students as professionals and leaders in software engineering in a global and interdisciplinary context with commitment to faith, ethical practice, and professional development.

Program Mission
Our mission is to provide educational excellence in Software Engineering to meet urban and industrial challenges, and prepare graduates that are intellectually, professionally, spiritually, ethically, and socially developed to pursue a graduate degree in Software Engineering, or a career in industry, education, health, and government. To this extent, the program will focus on team-based projects and practical lab assignments, and disseminate the knowledge needed to allow students to efficiently define, plan, develop and implement high quality, reliable, and secure software systems under realistic constraints.

Program Objectives

  1. Develop the ability to plan, formulate, apply, analyze, develop, and evaluate appropriate solutions to solve software engineering problems, and assess the quality and security of software engineering processes and techniques.
  2. Instill among students the ability to understand, analyze, and assess the value of software engineering codes of ethics, and demonstrate the ability to effectively communicate ideas and outcomes, both orally and in writing, in a logical manner.
  3. Improve students’ ability to work productively and effectively in teams including interdisciplinary teams, and demonstrate effective leadership skills.
  4. Prepare students for doctoral programs in software engineering by instilling the ability to carry out and evaluate theoretical and practical research in software engineering.
