Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering

Program Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering (BSSE) program explores a wide range of course topics, including software engineering principles, software specifications and software architecture. The mission of the bachelors of science degree in software engineering is to educate students for careers as software engineers in industry and research with an emphasis on the ability to analyze, design, verify, validate, implement, apply, and maintain software systems; the ability to appropriately apply discrete mathematics, probability and statistics, and relevant topics in computer science and supporting disciplines to complex software systems; and the ability to work in one or more significant application domains.

The 4-year Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Software Engineering at CUI Sahiwal prepares students to be proficient software designers, developers and troubleshooters. Course units and themes of particular relevance to software engineering include:

  • Software Project Management
  • Software Design and Architecture
  • Distributed Systems Development
  • Information Systems Modeling
  • Specification of Software Systems
  • Software Evolution
  • Software Quality
  • Agile Methods
  • Data Integration and Analysis

Scope

According to 2014-2024 employment projections by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there will be 19% job growth for applications software developers and 13% job growth for systems software developer. Pakistan software industry has global market share of $2.8 billion in recent years with annual export of IT related products and services worth $1.8 billion. Software industry in Pakistan is growing at the rate of 35% per year to meet requirements of local and international markets. Therefore, CUI is launching BSSE program in an attempt to fill this gap.
