Bachelor of Science - Engineering - Software Engineering (Optional Co-op)

Software engineering goes beyond programming. It’s about developing, writing, testing, implementing, and maintaining software systems. It’s the foundation of all computer systems. In other words, the digital world depends on software engineering.

In UNB’s Software Engineering program, students will learn how to develop and maintain reliable, safe, affordable, and efficient software systems that satisfy customer requirements. Students will also gain the skills and knowledge needed to work on large and expensive software systems that often have safety-critical applications.

Software Engineering is a joint program in the Faculty of Computer Science and Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The program is available as a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree.

The program is the only Software Engineering program in Atlantic Canada accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB), and one of only 14 CEAB-accredited programs in Canada. The program is also accredited by the Canadian Information Processing Society (CIPS). The small class sizes at UNB mean greater interaction between students, their instructors, and their peers.

Hands-on learning: • Laboratory experience • Group design projects • Co-operative Education (Co-op) program • Skills students will acquire: • Develop, write, test, implement, and maintain software systems • Analyze and document customer requirements • Design, analyze, and implement efficient solutions • Work in teams and develop leadership techniques
