Specialty Description
According to the plan and statement of the program, the basic education principles for Software engineering are ‘broad disciple, solid foundation, high quality and emphasis on ability’. Students enrolling in computer science and technology, soft engineering and network engineering will be offered the same courses in the first one and half years, during which students are expected to establish a solid and systematic knowledge base of theories of computer-related majors. At the end of first semester in year two, students choose their own specializations. Currently the software engineering program has two specializations. Subject of computer application is one of the important subjects in Jiangsu province. This major is to cultivate specialized personnel in software developing and research, who can work on software development, software technology management and software program management. Features of this program lie in that it follows the leading software technology world-wide, meets the requirement of rapid development of the software technology, and emphasizes cultivation of practical skills, to meet the need for software developers in society. This program aims at constructing a teaching system combining elite education and mass education, research and practical training, with subject building as major business, student education as centre, personnel training as foundation and technology innovation as motivation.
Training Objective
Facing with the social and economic development and modernization of national defense, this major is to train high-quality specialized talents with research and practical skills, broad and sound knowledge in computer software, good moral quality, as well as strong international communication skills, political integrity, soundness in mind and body, who keep seeking truth and practicing, who are innovative in putting theories into practice, and are able to get involved in software developing, scientific research, teaching and technology application in research institutes or government departments, educational institutions, enterprises and administrative management undertakings.
Learning Outcomes
This major combines computer software, hardware and network. It focuses on training of software theory and ability of software developing. Students are required to master the basic knowledge of software and hardware of computer system, and knowledge of design, research, development and comprehensive application of computer system, and to conduct basic software research and development, to grasp design techniques of computer system, computer network technologies and practical skills, to acquire ability of analyzing, designing, testing and maintaining system software and applications.
