The principal constituencies of the BS in Software Engineering program are:

• • • • The alumni.
      • The faculty of the program.
      • The employers.

The program must expose its students to the forefront knowledge in the Computing discipline, and so the alumni are a critical component of our continuous improvement process. Also, the CSE’s alumni have been in contact with the professional world and should have been able to test the skills that they have attained, hence their experience represents an excellent source to provide useful input for the improvement of our programs. Our faculty plays an essential role in the administration of the programs, in effectively transmitting knowledge to our students through teaching and research, and in the continuous improvement process. Employers’ satisfaction drives employment opportunities for our students; hence they have an important word to say on how our program can improve the quality of our graduates. These three groups of constituencies have a special interest in the continuous success of the program directed by its PEOs. 

Graduates of the Software Engineering Program will:

1. 1. 1. Employ communication skills to inspire teams, influence decisions, and collaborate across the business, operational and technical dimensions of software projects.
      2. Apply technical and entrepreneurial skills to deliver software solutions for complex and real-world problems. 
      3. Demonstrate ethical integrity and uphold professional standards making socially reponsible decisions that serve local and global communities. 
      4. Continuously develop their professional competencies by self-directing their learning to integrate emerging technologies and industry trends into their engineering practice. 

The BS in Software Engineering program has adopted the student outcomes of the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET. These are:

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics

2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors

3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences

4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts

5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives

6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions

7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
