Software is critical to most modern technologies, as it lies at the heart of technological function. With this increased reliance on modern, advanced technologies, there is an ever-increasing demand for specialists able to develop software, understand and support computer systems architecture and design, and distributed services– tasks which are done by software engineers. Given the expected and accelerated growth of sectors related to software over the next decades, there is also growing demand for professionals who have these skills. As a result, the new Master of Applied Science in Software Engineering program at Memorial University is timely. Offered jointly by the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, the MAScSE provides students with the skills they need to thrive in this exciting field. The Master of Applied Science in Software Engineering is a four-term, course-based Master’s program intended for students with a computer science or computer engineering background who wish to upgrade their background to specialize in software engineering. Students will graduate with a broad understanding of the main areas of Software Engineering as well as in-depth knowledge in some of these areas. Students will acquire practical experience through course projects, and by completing a substantial team capstone project.
