Bachelor of Software Engineering

Employers generally seek applicants with strong programming, systems analysis and business skills.

"A large difference exists between the software engineering skills taught at a typical

university or college and the skills that are desired of a software engineer by a typical

software development organization. At the heart of this difference seems to be the way

software engineering is typically introduced to students: general theory is presented in a

series of lectures and put into (limited) practice in an associated class project."[https://brainscollege.edu.pk/] "Teaching Software Engineering through Simulation", Emily Oh and André van der Hoek

Graduate prospects are projected to be excellent with the amount of software engineers in the industry estimated to rise by roughly 38% from 2006 to 2016, with total real wage in the industry increasing by an estimated 38.2%.[ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/special.requests/ep/ind-occ.matrix/occ_pdf/occ_15-1030.pdf]{{dead link|date=May 2025|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} Software engineering prospects over a decade from 2006 to 2016 The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Job Outlook for Software engineers and Developers 2019-29 predicts only a 22% growth.{{Cite web|url=https://www.bls.gov/ooh/computer-and-information-technology/software-developers.htm|title = Software Developers, Quality Assurance Analysts, and Testers : Occupational Outlook Handbook: : U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics}} After the crash of the dot-com bubble (1999–2001) and the Great Recession (2008), many U.S. software professions were left without work or with lower wages.{{cite journal |last1=Mann |first1=Amar |last2=Nunes |first2=Tony |title=After the Dot-Com Bubble: Silicon Valley High-Tech Employment and Wages in 2001 and 2008 |journal=Regional Report, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics |date=August 2009 |pages=1–8 |url=https://www.bls.gov/opub/btn/archive/after-the-dot-com-bubble-silicon-valley-high-tech-employment-and-wages-in-2001-and-2008.pdf |access-date=29 September 2020}} In addition, enrollment in computer-related degrees and other STEM degrees (STEM attrition){{Cite web|url=https://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2014001rev|title = STEM Attrition: College Students' Paths into and Out of STEM Fields|date = 26 November 2013}}{{Cite web|url=https://spectrum.ieee.org/the-stem-crisis-is-a-myth|title=The STEM Crisis is a Myth|date=30 August 2013}} in the US has been dropping for years, especially for women,{{Cite web|url=https://developers.hp.com/public/blog/hp-international-womens-week-women-computer-science-dropping-1980s|title = HP Developers Portal | HP International Women's Week: Women in Computer Science dropping since 1980s}} which, according to Beaubouef and MasonTheresa Beaubouef and John Mason, [http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1083474 Why the high attrition rate for computer science students: some thoughts and observations.], ACM SIGCSE Bulletin, 2005 could be attributed to a lack of general interest in science and mathematics and also out of an apparent fear that software will be subject to the same pressures as manufacturing and agriculture careers.
