Software Engineering is about building effective software systems that address complex problems in a broad range of domains including transport, communications, finance, medicine, science, entertainment and the arts.The ANU Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Software Engineering has many unique characteristics, but best of all, it is built on a multidisciplinary systems approach. The adopted systems approach to software engineering not only covers the technical aspects of professional practice, innovation and research, but also the complex socio-technical context in which these activities occur. This includes approaches to dealing with uncertainty and risk, design, modern management practices, ethics and communication.Students develop these skills and capabilities through a balance of theoretical study, practice in team projects with industry partners, and work experience. Students also have the opportunity to develop their innovation and entrepreneurial capabilities by working on their own start-ups with industry entrepreneurs as part of their degree.Career OptionsANU ranks among the world's very finest universities. Our nearly 100,000 alumni include political, business, government, and academic leaders around the world.We have graduated remarkable people from every part of our continent, our region and all walks of life.Employment opportunitiesGraduates find employment opportunities in a variety of roles, including but not limited to:Software EngineerSoftware DeveloperSoftware ConsultantSoftware ArchitectProgrammerSystem AnalystProject ManagerProduct ManagerApplication DeveloperDatabase AnalystNetwork ArchitectLearning OutcomesProfessionally apply systematic engineering methods to design optimised and sustainable solutions to complex, multi-disciplinary real-world engineering problems.Formulate and evaluate solutions to software engineering problems by selecting and applying theoretical principles and methods from the underpinning mathematical, information and computer sciences.Proficiently apply advanced technical knowledge and appropriate tools in software engineering practices.Identify and critically evaluate current developments and emerging trends in the software engineering discipline.Understand the contextual factors that influence professional engineering practice, and identify the potential societal, ethical, and environmental impact of engineering activities.Communicate effectively with colleagues, other engineering professionals and the broader community employing a range of communication media and tools.Engage in independent research and investigation through the application of research-based knowledge and research methods, including searching, analysing and evaluating information sources within and beyond the software engineering discipline.Engage effectively in critical reflection and independent learning to continue practicing at the forefront of the software engineering discipline.Work effectively and proactively within cross-cultural, multi-disciplinary teams, demonstrating autonomy, ethical conduct, well-developed judgement, adaptability and responsibility to achieve engineering outcomes at a high standard.
