The curriculum in the Associate Degree in Engineering (AEng) in Software Engineering Technology is designed for those who intend to launch a career in the testing, installation, and maintenance of computer software modules and systems. Coursework in the program is practice-oriented and prepares students to work in a variety of computer-intensive environments that involve engineering support: technical organizations, small or large businesses, manufacturing companies, and data-directed services.
The breadth of training in hardware, software, troubleshooting equipment, and other computer tools will enable the graduate to work in a variety of roles in such environments as software technician, computer systems technician, data applications or computer technician, or as a test and integration assistant. The graduate of this curriculum will be a software engineering technician versed in mathematics, physics, computer science, software development, and business fundamentals. Failure to maintain an overall GPA of at least a 2.00 in all coursework is sufficient cause for being dropped from the program.
The program objectives are the following:
- Graduates will be situated in growing careers involving design, development, and support of Information Technology Systems.
- Graduates will have accumulated technical expertise to remain globally competitive.
Completion of this program should result in the following student outcomes:
- An ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.
- An ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes.
