Software engineering is the application of engineering principles and techniques in the process of software design, development, construction and maintenance. IEEE defines software engineering as "The application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation and maintenance of software." With computing as its foundation, software engineering seeks to develop and use systematic models and reliable techniques to produce high-quality software.

The educational objectives of the Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering at CSUSM are to produce graduates who, within three years after graduation, are able to:

• Demonstrate professional advancement through significant technical achievements and expanded leadership responsibility in their jobs in industry, government, or entrepreneurial endeavors;
• Demonstrate the ability to work effectively as a team member and/or leader in an ever-changing professional environment; and
• Progress through advanced degree or certificate programs in computing, science, engineering, business, and other professionally related fields.

Program Student Learning Outcomes

• An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
