World today is experiencing extensive use of software in every aspect of life; from a simple handset to multi-billion dollars satellite, everything is being backed by software. This phenomenal use of software creates a great demand for software developers who can apply theory and practice of computer science, engineering and mathematical analysis to design, develop, test and evaluate software and systems. The Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering (BS(SE)) program will attract those who are inspired by the power and magnificence of software in today’s life. It has been introduced to produce the software engineers to meet current challenges in production of high quality software within cost and schedule. This degree will enable the students to begin a career in software development, project management, quality management, enterprise application development, business & system analysis, architecture, design, testing etc.
