成为可开发的，负责任的计算专家，开发满足或超出期望的软件。该程序面向想要使用软件进行工程设计，从软件和基于软件的系统中创建产品和组件的学生。从解决问题和编程的基础开始，软件工程（SE）程序旨在在跨学科的学术环境中教育学生，并增强他们的沟通，团队合作和人际交往能力。软件工程专业的学生将学习如何将计算机科学，工程学和分析的原理应用于软件系统的设计，创建，测试和评估。结果包括开发技术能力以及分析，设计，验证，确认，实施和维护软件系统所必需的领导和沟通技巧。随着社会对软件系统的依赖性增加，学生将有必要面对道德困境
Gannon's software engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. Graduates of the program have a 100-percent placement rate in either employment or graduate studies. Become an employable, accountable computing professional who develops software that meets or exceeds expectations. This is a program for students who want to engineer with software, creating products and components from software and software-based systems. Starting with a foundation in problem-solving and programming, the software engineering (SE) program is prepared to educate students in an interdisciplinary academic environment and enhance their communication, teamwork and interpersonal skills. Software engineering majors learn how to apply the principles of computer science, engineering and analysis to the design, creation, testing and evaluation of software systems. This outcome includes developing technical competency, as well as the leadership and communication skills necessary to analyze, design, verify, validate, implement and maintain software systems. As the societal dependence on software systems grows, students will have the foundation necessary to face ethical dilemmas and to act responsibly as part of their professional training.
