Bachelor of Engineering (Software Engineering) (Honours)

Software engineering is the study and application of engineering methodologies and practices to the design, development, and maintenance of software and embedded systems.

This program also focuses on technology management and engineering project management.The BH120 Bachelor of Engineering (Software Engineering)(Honours) provides you with an internship opportunity at the end of the program.

In addition, in a number of cases industry has provided direct support by donating laboratory equipment.

You may also be able to undertake an industry-sponsored design project in your final year.You will undertake a capstone experience in the courses OENG1183 Engineering Capstone Project Part A and OENG1185 Engineering Capstone Project Part B, in which you will conduct an independent research project that can be analytical, experimental, design or computational in nature (or some combination of these).With a Bachelor of Engineering (Software Engineering) (Honours) you can be competitive for many mid-level positions in software development as well as for jobs in related fields like cybersecurity.

You can apply for positions in the business, communications, healthcare and gaming industries.

You can also work on embedded software projects.

This type of software is used in virtually every industry, from medicine to aeronautics.

Professionals who are new to the field often start out as programmers and work their way up to positions of greater responsibility, including as a software architect or project manager.

Even at the entry level, employers sometimes specify that applicants should be knowledgeable about all stages of project work.

Employers may be educational companies, publishers, credit unions, or even search engine giants.

Companies such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft hire strong candidates at the bachelor’s level for a range of positions.

In addition, senior projects and internships will give you opportunities to solve real-world problems and often lead to job offers after graduation.The program is primarily delivered face to face on campus at RMIT Vietnam.
