Bachelor of Engineering (Software Engineering)

About this programme

This honours-level Bachelor of Engineering program will prepare you to design, build, implement and maintain complex computer and software solutions that are efficient, reliable and secure. The emphasis of this four-year honours degree program is on artificial intelligence (AI) in solving software engineering problems. Courses focus on software engineering criteria in the areas of mathematics, natural sciences, engineering design and engineering science. Your studies will include two mandatory, co-operative, four-month work-integrated learning experiences — one between semesters 4 and 5 and another between semesters 6 and 7. In your final year of the program, you will choose from Professional Option courses such as robotics, quantum computing and computer vision. You will also undertake a substantial group capstone project. This program is accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB). Through Seneca’s software engineering degree, you will develop the following skills: This program includes a mandatory co-op work term to provide you with valuable hands-on experience in your field of study. A mandatory co-op is typically a paid position that is completed between two academic semesters. It is similar in length to an academic semester and requires a minimum of 420 hours of work experience. You must be in good standing and meet all identified requirements prior to participating in the work experience. Successful completion of the co-op work term(s) is required for graduation.
