Course Information & Syllabus
Course Information :
Software now plays an important and central role in all aspects of daily life. It is the driving force in business,
entertainment, medicine, and transportation. In 2001, the US Department of Labor Statistics stated that software
engineering is projected to be the fastest growing professional field in the next ten years. Software engineers are responsible for the analysis, design, construction, and testing of the complex software systems. Our objective is to prepare just the type of computing professional that are needed in the industry to develop the complex systems.
