Program Overview

This Advanced Diploma in Software Engineering Technology (SET) will teach you to design, develop and maintain software systems. You will learn modern programming languages, design and algorithm concepts, and data management tools. The acquired knowledge and hands-on experience will enable you to design and develop various kinds of software applications, human-computer interfaces, and enterprise information systems.

The course work will emphasize object-oriented software design methodologies, user-oriented interface design, QA, C#, Java, J2EE, Oracle, MS-SQL Server, Unix/Linux, Microsoft’s .NET, HTML/XML, Rational/WebSphere, Rich Internet Applications, Mobile Computing, Software Security and more.

To underscore the applied focus of the curriculum, the program will include two software development projects. These real-world business applications will require you to utilize all the technical, systems and business skills acquired during your studies for building higher quality software.

Another way to gain hands-on experience is through the program’s optional co-op component. Academically qualified students enhance their education by working three terms as paid employees in the field. The experience not only allows you to put classroom learning into practice, but also provides valuable contacts for future careers.
