| The Software Engineering Technician (Fast Track) program will allow you to gain direct admission into year two (semester three) of the two-year program and receive your diploma in one year (two semesters), if you are a qualified college or university graduate with a background in software. This program will be ideal for you if you are seeking a shorter-term program for timely reentry into the workplace. While most people just use software, you will learn to design, develop and maintain various software applications, human computer interfaces and enterprise information systems. Through a combination of theory and hands-on leaning, you will acquire solid knowledge of software engineering methodologies, programming languages, design and algorithm concepts, data management tools and networking fundamentals. The course work will emphasize object-oriented software design methodologies, user-oriented interface design, C#, Java, Oracle, MS-SQL Server, Microsoft’s .NET and software testing and QA.
To underscore the applied focus of the Software Engineering Technician (Fast Track) curriculum, this School of Engineering Technology and Applied Science program will include a software development project. This real-world business application will require you to utilize all the technical and business skills acquired during your studies to build higher quality software. Please note: The co-op version of this offering, Software Engineering Technology (Fast Track, Co-op)(program #3439), will introduce you to some of the biggest names in the industry during a paid co-op starting in the fourth semester. If you choose this option, you will gain experience, network and get ahead of the competition — all before graduation.
