SOFTWARE ENGINEERING (SE)

The Software Engineering (SE) major is designed to produce graduates capable of developing high-quality software systems with a focus on the Mobile Application domain. Gannon software engineers learn how to apply the principles of computer science, engineering, and analysis to the design, creation, testing, and evaluation of software and digital systems. The program includes developing technical competency as well as the leadership and communication skills necessary to analyze, design, verify, validate, implement, and maintain software systems. As the societal dependence on software systems grows, the students will have the foundations necessary to face ethical dilemmas and act responsibly as part of their professional training. The Software Engineering curriculum is delivered in five different ways – 1. SE-MSCIS: Accelerated 5-year program culminating in a four year BS degree followed by one year to complete one of the MS-CIS program options, described here. 2. SE: four-year degree program, described here. 3. SE-CoOp: five-year cooperative mode, described in the CIS Department section above 4. CS-SE: dual degree program where students complete both the Computer Science and the

Software Engineering degree requirements simultaneously described in the Computer

Science-Software Engineering Dual Degree section.

5. SEID-SE: multi-degree, where students additionally completed the requirements for a

Bachelors of Engineering (B.Eng) degree in Software Technology at Esslingen University of

Applied Science described in the Software Engineering International Degrees section.

Opportunities

Software engineers specialize in the specification, design and development of quality software systems. Software systems now serve in life-critical as well as business-critical domains, and require professionals who are prepared to develop systems in a reliable manner, balancing business needs, technology, and human factors in order to yield a successful product. Software engineering continues to be listed as one of the fastest-growing occupations.

Aims and Objectives

The SE major prepares its graduates to achieve significant career and professional accomplishments in four ways: as employable and accountable professionals, competent problem solvers, and selfless contributors. Employable Professional: SE graduates are well prepared for employment or graduate work in their field and to continue working in that field or related fields. This includes adaptability to different disciplines, environments, and tasks. They are fully prepared for employment in chosen post-graduate pursuits. Accountable Professional: SE graduates are accountable for their professional roles, and pursue their profession in an ethical manner. This includes giving and receiving professional critique and review, communication and the responsibility for, and/or leadership in: • Research/development projects or teams, • Aspects of major system components, or • Business development work. Competent SE Problem Solver: SE graduates focus on software-based systems. They innovate, analyze, design, verify, validate, implement, and maintain software systems. SE graduates apply current computing knowledge, technology, skills, techniques, and methods to: • Identify, analyze and develop effective solutions for problems, • Improve product, process and/or organizational elements, and • Apply creativity in design thinking and innovate where appropriate. Selfless Contributors: Graduates value collaborative teamwork and contribute to team accomplishment that goes beyond personal development. They voluntarily give their time, talent, and/or resources to their community, profession, church and/or society.

Program Outcomes

Gannon’s Software Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org. Similarly, Gannon’s Software Engineering program is built around the successes enjoyed by the successful Computer Science and Engineering programs whose students enjoy a long history of success in solving problems and building systems. The program has a strong focus on problem-solving beginning with the very first course in computing (CIS 180 Problem Solving and Computer Programming) and carried through into the senior design sequence (CIS 457/458 Senior Design). Throughout the learning process, students learn how to effectively define and represent both problems and the solutions needed to solve those problems. Throughout the course of study, students learn to and practice making ethical decisions. All students learn the art and science of specifying, designing, building and testing software for high-quality systems. In addition, they learn how to utilize information and computer technology while developing and maintaining comprehension of the changing technology used in computer-based systems, as well as its global and local impacts. Through this learning process, we expect students to own a desire for continuous improvement and demonstrate effective verbal, written, and listening communication skills.

Specifically, Software Engineering students completing our program learn to: • Realize and manage high-quality software development lifecycle processes • Apply discrete mathematics, computer science and engineering principles to systems development. • Demonstrate an ability to design, implement and analyze testing and other experimental measures to assess the quality of software and computing systems.

Integration

One of the hallmarks of Gannon’s SE degree is its integration with traditional liberal-studies education. Gannon’s SE majors learn computing well and learn how to synthesize, think critically, and communicate well.

The Program

The SE degree requires 129 credits to graduate. These are divided into two primary sources, a Computer and Information Science (CIS) core and a Software Engineering core. These, integrated with the Core of Discovery, provide the breadth and depth to the program. The program also provides a one-semester study abroad option.

Accelerated 5-Year SE-MS-CIS Program

The SE program provides an excellent pathway to the M.S. program in Computer and Information Science. Students apply to the accelerated MS program during sophomore or junior year, prior to registration as a junior or senior for GR courses. The Accelerated Program Application will be approved by the department and the dean and sent to the registrar’s office to make a note on the student’s profile. In the Senior Year, students apply to the graduate program through Graduate Admissions to officially become a graduate student. Students have to select one of the available MS Program options: Data Science (DS), Information Technology (IT) and Software Engineering (SE). To remain in the accelerated program, students are required to maintain a 3.00 GPA in their undergraduate courses. When accepted, students rearrange their graduation plan to match one of the patterns provided below. Six credits of identified UG work can be counted toward the MS-CIS degree; other MS-Equivalent courses can be counted for placement, but not credit toward MS-CIS degree requirements. The total credit count to complete the BS-SE and the MSCIS is 129 + 24 = 153 credits.
