Software Engineering is the application of engineering concepts, techniques, and methods to the development of software systems. A software engineering program develops engineering professionals with a strong foundation in software development practice and process.

Software engineering is based on computer science, in the same way that other engineering disciplines are based on natural or life sciences. However, it adds an emphasis on issues of process, design, measurement, analysis, and verification, providing a strong foundation in engineering principles and practice as applied to software development.
