Part II.Overall Statement of Justification (Summary)
State the purpose of opening the program in EasternMediterraneanUniversity from an academic perspective. This part should be a concise summary of the information supplied in the remaining parts of this form and information supplied in the New Program Proposal - I.(Fill in this part LAST)
Software Engineering is a systematic and disciplined approach to developing software. Software Engineering requires expertise in datamanagement, design and algorithm paradigms, programming languages, and human-computer interfaces, and knowledge of digital hardware systems. It also demands an understanding of and appreciation for systematic design processes, non-functional system properties, and largeintegrated systems. The development ofapplication software has moved beyond the capabilitiesof the individual programmer and is now widely viewedas an engineering activity. Progresses in computer science and accumulated experience with industrial production of software have led to the emergence of software engineering as a separate discipline. There has been a surge in demand for software engineers, as a result of the rapid growth in the application of computers in various products. It is now evident that the discipline of software engineering has become larger than what can be accommodated through an option of an engineering or science curriculum. In Turkey, three software engineering programs have been recently established. This program, which is to be offered by EMU, will be among the first few software engineering programs in Turkey, and the first one in TRNC.
Part III. Program Features
Program GoalsState the overall purpose and the major goals of the program by providing a clear expose of the program’s teaching intentions, i.e., writing a brief statement of what the program intends to deliver, how the program will ensure educational effectiveness, identifying the core concepts and any rationale.
The software engineering program at Computer Engineering Department implements the EMU's mission by facilitating the personal and professional growth of its students so that they can become effective contributors to the engineering profession and to society as a whole. Graduates of the software engineering program will:
- be able to unite theory with practice, be prepared and motivated to engage in lifelong learning, and have a solid foundation in mathematics and science.
- be productive practitioners skilled in applying engineering process and practice to software components and systems.
- be proficient in oral and written communication, and effective in team work.
- actively demonstrate professional and ethical responsibility.
- have the broad education and awareness of contemporary issues necessary to understand the societal and global impact of their profession.
Program Outcomes
List statements that describe what the students will gain or be able to do after completing the program. The outcomes should reflect what the students will have gained from their participation in the coursework and other experiences which the program provides.
Upon successful completion of the software engineering program, graduates will:
- understand and be able to apply mathematics, physical science, computer science, and related disciplines.
- understand and be able to apply principles of software engineering practice and process subject to realistic constraints
- be able to analyze, document, and track system requirements
