ACS -SWE Features

© SWE, 2009 4

The SWE-ACS is Packed!

• Driven mostly by the extensive requirements for the ACS Core• Modifying these requirements will require a fully separate degree

• Upside: ACS SWE students will be very well prepared• Downside: Not many nontechnical electives

SWE Related Courses (15 credits)

• Currently only two “pure” SWE courses; remainder CS• SWE 432: Design and Implementation of Software for the Web• SWE 443: Software Architectures

• We would like to add more courses!

Internship Is a Key Component of Degree

• We encourage local corporations to support our interns• Beneficial arrangement for all parties
