HD in Software Engineering Technology (Online) (Optional Co-op)

Software is taking the planet by storm and Centennial College's Software Engineering Technology (Online) provides a comprehensive three-year learning experience 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. 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. 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. Please note: For the co-op option, qualified students transfer to the co-op version (program #3449) in Semester 3. A fully online fast-track version of this program may be 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 #3479), or, for co-op fast-track students, in four semesters plus two work terms (program #3459). This program is offered in an on campus version (program #3409) with co-op (program #3419), and, the fast-track programs are also available in an on campus version (program #3429), and with co-op (Program #3439).
