Bachelor in Software Engineering (Hons) - Glenmarie

University of Wollongong Malaysia

The expanding integration of internet technologies coupled with the growth in e-commerce has resulted in a rising demand for software engineers. As computer systems become increasingly sophisticated, software engineers are expected to design, implement, safeguard and update systems. Software Engineers focuses on large-scale software systems and employs certain ideas from the world of engineering to build reliable software systems. Software engineers are concerned with the development and maintenance of software systems according to all the requirements that end-users or clients have defined for them. The nomenclature for the word engineering in software engineering reflects the practice of designing, analysing, building, and testing machines, systems, structures and materials. It is also more disciplined than Computer Science, applying more systematic practices to help ensure that products are reliable and safe.

Through Bachelor of Software Engineering (Hons) at Glenmarie, Selangor campus, students are exposed to valuable insights in utilising systematic and disciplined approaches to creating quality software products. They also gain core software development knowledge, which includes skills and techniques in modelling and analysis, software design, development, verification and validation, maintenance and management systems.

Students will also be involved in a variety of projects ranging from business applications, high-precision and safety-critical scientific and engineering systems in this ever-expanding digital world.

What is software engineering?

Software Engineering focuses on large-scale software systems employs certain ideas from the world of engineering in building reliable software systems. Software engineers are concerned with the development and maintenance of software systems according to all the requirements that end-users/clients have defined for them.

The nomenclature for the word engineering in software engineering reflects the practice of designing, analysing, building, and testing machines, systems, structures and materials. In this case – software engineers are proficient in designing, analysing, testing and developing software and applications.

It is more applied than Computer Science, placing greater emphasis on the entire software development process, from idea to final product. It is also more disciplined than Computer Science, applying more systematic practices to help ensure that products are reliable and safe.
