PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Software is taking the planet by storm and Centennial College's Software Engineering Technology program will provide you with three
years of learning in designing, developing and maintaining software systems.

As a student, you'll attend advanced diploma courses that will cover modern programming paradigms and frameworks, design and
algorithm concepts, data management tools, modern software engineering methodologies, and integration of intelligent systems into
various applications. The program will also expose you to a solid knowledge of systems integration, enterprise development, mobile
computing and software security.

The coursework emphasizes object-oriented software design methodologies, user-oriented interface design, software testing and
quality assurance, and a wide range of programming languages and tools including C#, Java, Java EE, Kotlin, Oracle, MS-SQL Server,
UNIX/Linux, Python, Microsoft's .NET Core, HTML5/CSS/JavaScript/Angular/React, mobile application development, emerging web
frameworks and architectural styles, cloud computing, predictive analytics, artificial intelligence/machine learning, and more.

To round out the curriculum’s technical focus, the Software Engineering Technology program includes two software development
projects to put your skills into action and develop real-world business applications. These projects allow you to apply all the technical,
systems, and business skills you acquire during your studies to build high-quality software.

Upon graduation, you'll have the knowledge and hands-on experience to design and develop various kinds of software applications,
human-computer interfaces, and enterprise information systems.

Overall, the program provides a rigorous and practical education in software engineering technologies, preparing you for success in
this rapidly-evolving field. You will be part of a dynamic industry that powers the world by enabling essential tasks such as e-
commerce, mobile app development, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence through software programs.

Please note: This program is available with a co-op option (program #3419). Qualified students transfer to the co-op option in
Semester 3. A fast-track version of this program is available to qualified college or university graduates with a background in
software. Fast track applicants gain direct admission into Semester 3 of this three-year program and receive their advanced diploma
in four semesters (program #3429). The co-op option is available for fast-track students with four semesters plus two work terms
(program #3439). This program may be available in a fully online version (program #3469) with co-op (program #3449). The fast-
track programs may also be available in a fully online version (program #3479), and, online co-op (Program #3459).
