BS Degree in Software EngineeringThe adventureSoftware engineers apply engineering principles to software design, development, and evolution. Create large-scale software products, with emphasis on reliability, usability, and cost-effectiveness. Apply that knowledge and capability to manufacturing, business, engineering, and science.

The opportunityThe US Department of Labor has identified software engineering as the fastest-growing occupation in the nation, and Money Magazine says that software engineering is the best job in America based on such factors as stress level, flexibility in work environment, creativity, and ease of advancement. At Michigan Tech, we emphasize course work, applications, and project experience, including interaction with industry. Our students have excellent opportunities to get career-related experiences through part-time work, co-ops, and internships.

The careerIn what field might you work? The possibilities range widely. Data management. Telecommunications. Food production. Factory control. Robotics. Pharmaceuticals. Defense. Toys. Security. Biomedical instrumentation. Sound design.

There’s time to decideWe offer three bachelor’s programs: computer science, computer systems science, and software engineering. If you’re unsure which is right for you, all of our bachelor’s degree programs share a similar curriculum for the first two years, so you can discover your areas of interest and talents before making a final career choice.

“I’m a principal software engineer for a worldwide computer hardware/software vendor. I’m involved in the research and development of new software tools and technologies to support the development of client/server applications. Currently, I lead a team of four software engineers in the design, implementation, validation, maintenance, and evolution of a distributed tool to assist in better utilizing the resources available in a network of heterogeneous computer systems.”
