Requisite map
Overview
Software engineering comprises the core principles consistent in software construction and maintenance: fundamental software processes and life-cycles; mathematical foundations of software engineering; requirements analysis; software engineering methodologies and standard notations; principles of software architecture and re-use; software quality frameworks and validation; software development; and maintenance environments and tools. Current industry-strength programming languages, technologies and systems feature highly in the practical components, electives and projects of the course.
Availability
Software engineering is listed in E3001 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at Clayton and Malaysia as an undergraduate specialisation.

Studying single degree engineering
36 credit pointsIn single-degree engineering, you must complete 36 credit points of elective study after Year 1. In Year 2, the 12 points of electives can be level 1, 2 or 3 units from engineering or other faculties. In Years 3 and 4, the 24 points of electives must be level 3, 4 or 5 engineering units. You may use your elective study to complete an engineering minor that will complement your engineering specialisation or choose from your specialisation technical electives list.
Software engineering technical electives
36 credit pointsWhen choosing your electives, it is important to select only from your specialisation technical electives list. This ensures that your elective studies align with and contribute to the knowledge and skills required within your chosen field of study.

Studying a double degree with engineering
The 36 credit points of specialisation engineering technical electives normally required in the single degree have been credited towards the double degree structure and therefore not a requirement in the double degree courses.
