Introduction
The Department of Computer Science, in keeping with the evolving demands of modern technology and education, is introducing a Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering BS (SE) program. The BS (SE) emphasizes fundamental principles of software development, engineering practices, and computer science, with a strong foundation in software design, system architecture, and programming methodologies. This program equips students with essential skills in software development life cycles, algorithms, data structures, and software project management. Graduates will be well-prepared for careers in software development, system design, and software project management, integrating engineering principles with computational techniques to build high-quality, scalable software systems.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
- Develop proficiency in programming languages commonly used in software development.
- Gain strong problem-solving and algorithmic skills for efficient software design and implementation.
- Learn to use software development tools and frameworks to build, test, and deploy applications.
- Acquire knowledge of software architecture, design patterns, and development methodologies.
- Develop an understanding of software security, ethical considerations, and privacy concerns in software engineering.
- Learn to work with various software development paradigms, including web, mobile, and cloud computing.
PROGRAM FEATURES
- The updated BS (SE) is a 133 credit hours program and may be completed in minimum four years (eight semesters).
- Two semesters are offered in a year (Spring and Autumn)
- Duration of each semester is 18 weeks.
- Program is In-line with HEC.
Eligibility Criteria
Minimum 50% marks in Intermediate/12 years schooling/A-Level (HSSC) or Equivalent with Mathes are required for admission in BS (SE).
Equivalency certificate by IBCC will be required in case of education from some other country or sy
The students who have not studied Mathematics at intermediate level have to pass deficiency course Mathematics (non-credits) in first two semesters.
