As technology penetrates every sector of the economy, software needs are becoming increasingly complex. This need has seen the evolution of a relatively new area of study, software engineering. The U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics state that computer software engineering will be among the fastest growing occupations for the next 10 years.
The software engineering program combines the theory behind good software engineering practices along with applied projects throughout the IEEE standardized curriculum. This approach provides graduates the knowledge and skills to be successful in the workplace or in graduate studies.
UMC has an immersive visualization and informatics lab one of only two in the Upper Midwest. The lab features technology to create 3-D simulations with applications across many disciplines including software engineering, the physical and biological sciences, agriculture and natural resources, and homeland security.
