Programme Vision, Mission & Objectives
OVERVIEW
Vision
The Software Engineering Program aspires to be one of the distinctive in the sultanate of Oman. Its graduates will be highly sought by both industry and public sectors. This aims to prepare students for careers in software engineering, comprising construction and maintenance of packaged and customized software, software integration, and software project management.
Mission
Software Engineering is about the careful engineering of large and complex software systems to meet diverse and often critical needs. This Program addresses both analytical and practical skills required by the students to develop robust and efficient computer-based Software Systems for manufacturing, industrial, medical, government and business applications. Students will have individual and hands on experience with timely, cost-effective and state of art processes and tools.
Program Objectives
