Physics

To join the area of software engineering, you will typically need a Bachelor's degree. Due to their shared focus on computing theoretical underpinnings, the first two years of study in both computer Science and computer engineering are largely interchangeable. All the way from discrete mathematics and Statistics through computer architecture and the development of new programming languages are included. The curriculum begins to diverge in the third year. Software quality assurance employing a wide range of metrics, software development lifecycle processes and methodologies (including waterfall, agile, scrum, XP, and kanban), and design patterns are all discussed (lines of code, cyclomatic complexity). .

A Bachelor's degree is the standard requirement for entering the field of software engineering. The first two years cover similar ground to those of computer Science and computer engineering, since they are both concerned with the foundations of computing. Topics covered range from algorithm design and data structures to computer architecture and programming language creation to discrete mathematics and Statistics. Beginning in the third year, there is a departure in the subject matter covered. Design patterns, software requirement gathering and formal specification, software development process and methodology (waterfall, agile, scrum, XP, kanban), and software quality assurance using a variety of metrics are all covered (lines of code, cyclomatic complexity). .
