Software engineering comprises the core principles consistent in software construction and maintenance: fundamental software processes and life-cycles; mathematical foundations of software engineering; requirements analysis; software engineering methodologies and standard notations; principles of software architecture and re-use; software quality frameworks and validation; software development; and maintenance environments and tools. Current industry-strength programming languages, technologies and systems feature highly in the practical components, electives and projects of the course.

Availability
Software engineering is listed in E3001 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at Clayton and Malaysia as an undergraduate specialisation.

You must satisfy the continuous professional development or industrial training required to complete the course. See ENG0001 (for Clayton) or ENG0002 (for Malaysia).

Requirements

Part E. Elective study - Specialisation36 credit points

Studying single degree engineering36 credit points

In single degree engineering, you must complete 36 credit points of elective study after Year 1. In Year 2, the 12 points of electives can be level 1, 2 or 3 units from engineering or other faculties.
In Years 3 and 4, the 24 points of electives must be level 3, 4 or 5 units and from your engineering specialisation technical electives list.
Electives must be completed at the required unit level to satisfy the course requirements.

Software engineering technical electives36 credit points

When choosing your electives, it is important to select only from your specialisation technical electives list. This ensures that your elective studies align with and contribute to the knowledge and skills required within your chosen field of study.
