Software is taking the planet by storm and Centennial College's Software Engineering Technology program will provide you with three years of learning in designing, developing and maintaining software systems.
During this time, you'll attend advanced diploma courses that will cover modern programming paradigms and frameworks, design and algorithm concepts, data management tools, modern software engineering methodologies, and integration of intelligent systems into various applications. The program will also expose you to a solid knowledge of systems integration, enterprise development, mobile computing and software security.
The coursework in this college engineering technology program will emphasize object-oriented software design methodologies, user-oriented interface design, software testing and QA, C#, Java, Java EE, Oracle, MS-SQL Server, UNIX/Linux, Python, Microsoft's .NET Core, HTML5/CSS/JavaScript/Angular, React, mobile application development, emerging web frameworks, cloud computing, predictive analytics, machine learning, and more.
To round out the curriculum’s technical focus, the Software Engineering Technology program will include two software development projects. For these real-world business applications, you'll put into action all the technical, systems and business skills acquired during your courses to build high-quality software.
The knowledge and hands-on experience you'll obtain in Software Engineering Technology will enable you to design and develop various kinds of software applications, human-computer interfaces and enterprise information systems.
