Engineering with Emphasis in Software Engineering Applications (AS Degree S0841)
Natural Sciences Division
Physics and Engineering Department
Engineering with Emphasis in Software Engineering Applications AS degree program concentrates on the design of complex computing systems through the application of computing languages, contextualized problem-solving, control systems, and applied mathematics. This degree program is for job seekers interested in electrical software engineering and software engineering technology; as well as students interested in 4-year programs in software engineering and software engineering technology.
Engineering with Emphasis in Software Engineering Applications AS degree incorporates the engineering, science, and communications skills needed by an entry-level electrical engineering technology employee. Completion of this degree will prepare graduates for multiple terminal technologist positions, including engineering technician, software engineering technician, application developer, assistant engineer, technical sales, technical consultant and other endeavors related to electrical systems. Through this program, students will develop proficiency with electrical systems, mechanical systems, Microsoft Excel, oral communication, functional analysis, project management, developing presentations, laboratory analysis, programming, numerical methods, software development, and hardware interface tools. Completion of this degree may facilitate transfer into B.S. programs in Engineering Technology, Software Engineering or Computer Science related degree programs.
