莫納什大學馬來西亞分校

Software is everywhere. It does everything from dispensing medicine to controlling flight paths to monitoring and shaping our shopping habits. Our world’s major companies, governments and organisations depend on smartly designed and well-built software. And they rely on the expertise of skilled software engineers to make it happen.

As a software engineer, you will apply engineering principles to systematically analyse, develop and improve software to ensure it runs effectively, safely and securely. You will acquire high-level programming expertise, but software engineering goes well beyond writing code. Most modern IT systems are so complicated that teams of people must work together to create them. This specialisation’s emphasis on collaborative studio-based learning will give you strong skills in teamwork, project management and communication.

Areas of study:

• Computing for engineers
• Mathematics for engineering
• Engineering design A: lighter, faster, stronger
• Engineering design B: cleaner, safer, and smarter
• Design C: engineering mobile applications

The Bachelor of Software Engineering (Honours) focuses highly on the current industry-strength programming languages, technologies and systems in the form of practical components, electives and projects.

Course structure

The common first year lays a foundation in the basic sciences of mathematics, physics and chemistry and introduces the disciplines available to you for further study. You will learn to apply your developing maths and science knowledge to real-life problems and begin to understand the interaction between engineering and society. Depending on academic performance and quotas, you can pursue a specific discipline from your second year of study.

Monash Malaysia campus students must undergo training in an industrial-based environment after their third year of study, as required by the Board of Engineers Malaysia’s Engineering Accreditation Council. After the 12-week training, students must submit a written report, detailing your work experience.

Career outcomes

Graduates can work in fields such as:

Software Engineers help develop software for telecommunications, financial systems, aeronautics, medical devices, mobile devices, transportation systems, banking and insurance companies etc. They tend to hold technical, decision-making positions, such as Software Engineer, Systems Analyst, Software Architect, Quality Analyst, and Project Manager.

Software engineers work in teams with other software engineers, scientists, managers, and business people. These teams might consist of people in the next office or of people in locations all over the world. This project-rich specialization is designed to address industry demand for tech-savvy graduates with large-scale software systems project capability. Why not join this young and exciting field of engineering which is constantly evolving as new technologies emerge? Specialize in software engineering at Monash for an exciting career designing and creating the cutting-edge IT software systems that we all rely on.
