In response to the tremendous growth of the software development industry, Polytechnic University has introduced a new certificate program in software engineering. This course module will give students the knowledge and skills needed to compete successfully in this arena. Topics that are covered include object oriented software design, software validation and project management. The software engineering Certificate is a series of five graduate level courses. Three required core courses are designed to equip the computer science professional for an advanced software development career. In addition, students choose two other courses from a variety of Electives which are offered on a rotating basis. The Elective courses cover areas of current interest to the Software Engineering community, and allow students to customize their education.
| Core Courses - 9.0 Credits | |
| CS606 Software Engineering I | 3.0 |
| CS607 Software Engineering II | 3.0 |
| CS608 Principles of Database Systems | 3.0 |
| Electives - 6.0 Credits | |
| Elective can be chosen from the following list of courses or approved Selected Topics courses related to Software Engineering: | |

NOTES
The list below shows some recent offerings of Selected Topics which would qualify for this certificate.
Entrance requirements for the Certificate program are the same as for the M.S program. For students having superior academic credential but lacking sufficient background in computer science, there are three prerequisite courses.
which must be taken to prepare for courses in the software engineering Certificate. These prerequisites courses are offered every year on all campuses.
