BEng Software Engineering

Comments about BEng Software Engineering - At the institution - Sheffield - South Yorkshire

• Objectives
  This popular degree course focuses on the art of engineering complex software systems. It will teach you state-of-the-art software design and programming technologies, and develop your skills in program management, team-work, and working with people. You will gain experience of software development by working in a group to develop software for real companies in the second year. In the third year, half of your time will be spent on a substantial individual project that will allow scope for your creative and intellectual input. In the fourth year, you can join the innovative student-run Genesys company, recently designated a Microsoft Innovation Centre, working in teams to provide real solutions for external clients. You will be grounded in the fundamental principles of Computer Science, and introduced to research in Artificial Intelligence. Modules in the third year include E-commerce, 3D Graphics, and Computer Games Technology.
