软件技术是关于为生产性和休闲活动构建和使用系统，并了解构成这些系统基础的原理。它侧重于算法，数据结构和工程质量软件的原理。在本专业中，您将学习如何通过编程来控制计算机。您将获得有关软件，编程语言，结构化编程，编程实践，研究与开发，项目计划和项目交付的技能和经验。您将要命令的计算机包括最小的嵌入式设备，最大的集中式服务器以及介于两者之间的所有内容。您将使用至少一个与商业相关的软件堆栈高效地进行操作，并构建商业软件系统。您将与IT专业人员一道，为复杂的软件项目做出贡献，并设计和构建新的软件产品。
Software technology is about building and using systems for productive and leisure activities, and understanding the principles that underlie such systems. It focuses on algorithms, data structures and the principles of engineering-quality software. In this major, you'll learn how to control computers by programming them. You'll gain skills and experience in software, programming languages, structured programming, programming practice, research and development, project planning and project delivery. The computers you'll command include the smallest embedded devices, the largest centralised servers and everything in between. You'll operate productively with at least one commercially relevant software stack and build commercial software systems. Alongside IT professionals, you'll contribute to complex software projects, and design and build new software artefacts.
