Field of Study:	Computer Software Engineering
Description:	The Master of Applied Science (MASc) and Master of Engineering (MEng) programs in Software Engineering expand students' knowledge of software engineering through intensive state-of-the-art courses, projects, and/or a research thesis in their chosen area of interest. Software engineering focuses on the development and use of rigorous methods for designing and constructing software artifacts that will reliably perform specified tasks. Courses in these programs are designed to give students in-depth learning in software engineering, and opportunities for advanced development of skills such as communication, teamwork and leadership, as well as participate in scholarly activities of research, seminars and presentations. The Master of Engineering (MEng) in Software Engineering is a course-based or a project-based master’s program that aims to provide the opportunity for students as well as software professionals to expand their knowledge and skills in software engineering.
