Course

Become a contributor for free to openly demonstrate student outcomes, industry alignment & eligibility criteria.

Computer Engineering and Technology is designed to explore the process of taking a software idea and turning it into a profitable product. Students will gain knowledge of the phases of a software life-cycle (planning, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance). Technology will be introduced by exposing students to industry standard tools for implementing the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process.

Detailed information about this program

Computer Engineering and Technology is designed to explore the process of taking a software idea and turning it into a profitable product. Students will gain knowledge of the phases of a software life-cycle (planning, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance). Technology will be introduced by exposing students to industry standard tools for implementing the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process. This course will be focused on the SDLC but will expose the students to the various architectures used for a successful project. While not required, it is recommended that students have some prior knowledge of programming languages, databases, operating systems, and platforms.
