The Art of
System
Architecture.
Beyond logic, we master the human processes of engineering. From requirement analysis to deployment, we build quality software within the constraints of time and budget.
The discipline of Software Engineering focuses on producing graduates who are ready to develop and maintain quality software systems of scale for organizations and businesses within the constraints of time, budget and other requirements. In addition to its core computer science technical foundation, Software Engineering also involves human processes that are harder to formalize than the logical abstraction of computer science. The discipline therefore borrows and adapts from traditional engineering practice as well as from the field of project management. A focus of a Software Engineering specific curriculum must be able to develop students into software engineers through course work, practicals and applied project experience.
Brief History
The department of Software Engineering is one of the pioneer departments in the College of Science, Engineering and Technology of Osun State University established and inaugurated on September 12th, 2022. The department took off with a total of 78 students and currently offers B.Sc. Degree in Software Engineering. The department currently has two sets (100L and 200L respectively) of students running their degree programme in the university.
Mission
Achieving the goals and objectives of the National Policy on Industrialisation and Self-Reliance.
Vision & Objectives
To develop and utilize practical skills acquired in software architecture and design, software metrics, verification and validation, requirements analysis and the software engineering process for the production of software-based systems.
To develop expertise in programming in a number of different languages with emphasis on the production of robust, reliable, cost-effective and secure codes based on sound design and development principles adapted to a developing economy like Nigeria.
To be able to produce and manage high-quality software-based solutions with long life-cycles especially for large or complex systems.
To develop the understanding and engineering and entrepreneurial skills needed to become the architects and project leaders building systems in which software plays a critical role.
To leverage on Software Engineering as the driving force behind the new technologies that are transforming the way we live and work.
To have the requisite knowledge and skill base for further academic and professional development in Software Engineering.
Academic Programmes
B.Sc. Software Engineering
Four-year undergraduate programme combining core computer science principles with software development methodologies, project management, and quality assurance practices.
Physical Development
There are three functional laboratories that serve the academic programme of the department. The laboratories are well equipped to cope with the teaching of students and for the use of academic staff for research purposes. Classrooms and Lecture rooms are shared with other departments in the College.
Digital Laboratory
State-of-the-art digital computing facilities
Software Laboratory
Development environments and testing suites
Hardware Laboratory
Embedded systems and hardware-software integration
Student Handbook
The handbook is written for staff and students of Software Engineering. It is a compendium of information on academic programme and activities of the Department. The handbook provides detailed and necessary information on the vision, mission, philosophy and objectives of the department in addition to basic entry requirements, curriculum, admission and course descriptions of the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree programme in Software Engineering. The handbook will be useful for both staff and students.
The department has so much to offer and be assured that your choice of this great department is right and you could not have made a better choice!
