Software Engineering Graduate Specialty is a track (or option) in Computer Science Master Program.
Prerequisites for this track are same as for non-thesis master program plus:
- Principles of Software Engineering (CEN 4010), and
- Introduction to Object-Oriented Design and Programming (COP 4331)
Students who have not had COP 4331 may take COP 5330 to satisfy this requirement.
The Software Engineering track consists of courses that belong to three groups:
Group 1 - Fundamentals
Courses in this group emphasize general fundamentals of software engineering. Included in this group are courses in
object-oriented methods, software testing, and requirements engineering.
Group 2 - Development
Courses in this group address specific issues and techniques more closely related to actual software development.
Included in this group are courses in user interface design, CASE tools, formal methods, and advanced object-oriented
methods.
Group 3 - Quantitative and Experimental
Courses in this group deal with quantitative and experimental approaches. Included in this group are courses in the
areas of software reliability, metrics, and modeling.
Non-thesis option requires a minimum of 33 credits as follows:
- Same requirements as specified in degree requirements for non-thesis option for master’s degree in Computer Engineering or Computer Science.
- At least eight elective software engineering courses (24 credits), two from each group, as specified by academic advisor.
Thesis option requires a minimum of 30 credits as follows:
- Same requirements as specified in degree requirements for thesis option for master’s degree in Computer Engineering or Computer Science.
- At least six elective software engineering courses (24 credits), two from each group, as specified by academic advisor.
- A minimum of six credits of thesis work in the field of Software Engineering.
