Software Engineering - Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Daytona Beach

Software Engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Daytona Beach is a Campus Bachelor Computer Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Software now plays an important and central role in all aspects of daily life. It is the driving force in business, entertainment, medicine, and transportation, especially in aviation and space. In 2001, the Department of Labor Statistics stated that software engineering is projected to be the fastest growing professional field in the next ten years. Software engineers are responsible for the analysis, design, construction, and testing of the complex software systems that are essential to the Boeing 777, the new Lockheed-Martin Joint Strike Fighter, the Space Station, the modernization of our air traffic control, and every other aviation system being developed today. These are all systems that have computers (and their software) "embedded" inside of another physical system (an airplane, a radar system, or a space suit). These systems have to deal with a multitude of data and make decisions in "real-time," often involving "safety-critical" elements upon which human life can depend. Embry-Riddle offers a unique program that combines the "engineering" discipline and the team skills required to build aviation systems, along with the computer science foundations needed to understand and use modern technology. The employers of our graduates have told us repeatedly that we are preparing just the type of computing professional that they need to develop the complex systems they deal with. This preparation includes: Computer Programming Computer Science Foundations Software Engineering Fundamentals Object-Oriented Analysis, Design, and Construction Real-Time Systems Software Team Projects involving industrial processes and practices Elective courses in Artificial Intelligence, Graphics, and Simulation Our Software Engineering Program Prepares Graduates to Work In a Collaborative Environment The Bachelor of Science degree in Software Engineering is designed to prepare students for an entry-level software engineering position in industry that supports the design and imple- mentation of software systems with the focus on real-time, embedded, and safety-critical applications. Such systems are critical in avia- tion, space, medicine, and other disciplines that rely on high-quality, dependable software. The objectives of the Software Engineering program are that our graduates: Effectively analyze, design, and implement software systems, including embedded, real-time, and safety-critical systems. Demonstrate professionalism in their work and grow professionally through continued learning and involvement in professional activities. Contribute to society by behaving ethically and responsibly. Communicate effectively in oral, written, and newly developing modes and media. Successfully assume a variety of roles in teams of diverse membership. The curriculum is designed to facilitate accom- plishment of these objectives by program grad- uates. It provides a broad education, including fundamental knowledge about computer soft- ware and hardware. It also allows graduates to work in a team environment and to recognize the value of collaborative effort. The program lays a foundation for lifelong learning, profes- sional growth, and ethical and responsible behavior in the society.
