(May 13, 2002)--Michigan Technological University's Board of Control has given the go-ahead for a new bachelor's degree in software engineering. University officials hope students will be able to enroll in the program as early as this fall.
Software engineers are involved in the entire software development process, from conceiving a product to taking it to market. Michigan Tech students will be able to concentrate in various fields, ranging from computer games to medical devices to the automotive industry.
While the U.S. Department of Labor projects that software engineering will be the fastest-growing profession during 2000-10, bachelor's degree programs in the subject are a rarity. If approved by the State Board of Academic Officers, which includes representatives from Michigan's 15 public universities, MTU's program could begin in fall 2003.
Michigan Tech also offers bachelor's degrees in computer science, computer engineering, computer systems science, and computer systems and network administration. |
