Drexel University

Designing and building software systems is a cornerstone of how modern society functions but doing this at a high level of quality is challenging. The Software Engineering program at Drexel prepares students to not only meet this challenge but to do it on schedule and within budget by learning how to gather client requirements; design, construct, and test software solutions; and modify and extend existing systems. Project management and team operation abilities are also focused on, effectively fostering management-level skills.

The core courses address programming and the use of software development tools, specification and design, software architecture, verification and validation, software evolution and team projects. These subjects are supplemented with courses drawn from computer science and informatics that provide theoretical background and application knowledge.
