Bachelor of Engineering in Software Engineering (Co-op)

Through the Bachelor of Engineering program, students will learn to apply engineering principles to computer software. They will gain technical knowledge and skills in how to design, develop, maintain, test and evaluate software. As students move through the program, their courses will include areas such as engineering, business, computing science and project management.

Software engineer grads do more than programming. They bring creative solutions to manufacturing, transportation, health care, government and digital media. These sectors rely on computer tools and applications, which Thompson Rivers University’s grads manage.

Co-operative education is a mandatory requirement of the Software Engineering degree that comes with many added benefits: • Obtain industry related experience to boost up students’ resume. • Get paid while students learn • Build connections with industry professionals. • Apply and strengthen skills learned in the classroom to real world scenarios. • Have the opportunity to apply COOP experience to Engineering In Training Hours after graduation.

Career prospects in software engineering: • Software security analyst • Software quality assurance engineer • Software application developer • Software architect • Data scientist • Mobile and web developer • Cloud developer • Game developer
