Minor in Software Engineering
21st century engineers, mathematicians, and scientists will spend
much of their career writing software.
Traditional computer science focuses on efficiency, both in terms of process and product. The minor in software engineering will teach students how to engineer large, high quality software programs that are: Reliable, scalable, efficient, secure, saffe, usable, maintainable, and available The minor in software engineering is designed to teach students to design and build high quality software. This minor is open to all majors, and especially appropriate for students in:
Minor RequirementsCandidates for the minor in software engineering must complete 16 credits (5 courses) in software engineering with a minimum GPA of 2.00. The minor is comprised of:Two mandatory CS courses:
Three from the following list of courses:
The general university requirements for a minor can be found in the Academic Policies section of the GMU catalog. † GMU regulations require that "at least 8 credits must be applied only to that minor, and may not be used to fulfill requirements of the student's major." Thus CS majors can only apply two courses from CS 112, CS 211 and CS / SWE 421 toward the minor in software engineering. Declaring the MinorTo declare for the minor in Software Engineering, you will need to submit a Change/Declaration of Academic Program form. The form (in PDF) can be downloaded from the registrar's website. Take the form to the ISE department office, room 330 S&T II, to get an advisor's signature.Software Engineering Course DescriptionsSWE course descriptions are also in the University Catalog Course listing at http://www.gmu.edu/catalog/courses/swe.htmlCS course descriptions (for CS 112 and CS 211) are in the University Catalog Course listing at http://www.gmu.edu/catalog/courses/cs.html For Further InformationAdditional information on the program is available from the ISE Student Advisor Financial aid information is available at the GMU Office of Financial Aid [Go Back] Effective Fall 2007 |
