B.Sc. in Software Engineering

Egerton University

Important info

Software Engineering is about the orderly, timely and cost effective production of quality software that is not only useful but also usable. As such software engineering not only focuses on technology but also on the non-technical issues that are faced by software Engineers during the production of software. Research in this discipline shows that most of the software projects that fail because of reasons other than technology, therefore a Software Engineering degree should address these areas so that our graduates are able to address issues when they encounter them in their professional careers Software Engineers are in great demand in this economy due to the expensive nature of imported software. The cost of software will come down tremendously when that software is produced by locally trained software engineers.
