• Computing is used to solve problems, manage information, create smart technologies, explore the world, and connect to other people. Software engineers master the fundamentals of engineering like their colleagues but specialize in the design and development of computer systems and software.
  • Software Engineers are ultimately responsible for the usability, safety, and reliability of their products. For example, the SE must make sure that the system and its documentation are consistent, that the hardware configuration is appropriate to the task, that programs will behave as required, and that the system will meet all real-time deadlines and other performance requirements
  • McMaster Software Engineering program prepares students for a career in a rapidly changing field by emphasizing fundamental design principles, and material that will still be useful and valid three decades from today.
  • Students learn to apply basic mathematics and science (including relevant Computer Science), as well as undertake disciplined testing and simulation to ensure that any system they design will perform its tasks adequately when delivered to a customer for use.
