Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering

Software engineering: More than just programming

The Bachelor of Science in software engineering at Trine University will teach you to apply scientific principles to develop software. The degree includes computer programming but also is concerned with methodologies, techniques, and tools to manage the lifecycle of software.

The experience: Explore all aspects of software

The working environment of software engineers is team-based. You will gain experience through interactive experiences in and out of the classroom. You will explore:

• Cost-effectiveness
• Usability
• Modeling and analysis
• Design
• Reliability
• Quality
• Requirements and testing
• Teamwork
• Project management

You will develop skills employers are looking for, including analytical skills, communication skills, computer skills, creativity, interpersonal skills, problem-solving skills, and an eye for detail. The format of laboratories and design projects is such that you will experience working as an individual, working with a same-discipline partner or small team, and finally working as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

It’s easy to talk about excellence . But it’s another thing altogether to truly commit yourself to it each and every day. To live it. To inspire it in everything around you. At Trine University, this commitment to excellence has formed the bedrock of our experience for well over a century. You’ll see it, and you’ll feel it, the second you step on our beautiful, 450-acre campus in Angola, Indiana. Few schools can say they’ve been getting it done at such a high level for nearly 130 years. We can.

A Commitment to Excellence

From our programs to our faculty, to our facilities, to the positive impact our work has on communities everywhere, we set our standards at Trine just a little higher. We can’t help it. It’s who we are. It’s why U.S. News & World Report and the Princeton Review consistently rank us among the Midwest’s best universities, and it’s why more than 1,900 companies around the world seek out our graduates.

An Innovative Spirit

Innovation is in our DNA at Trine. It always has been. In fact, the modern-day golf ball was patented by a Trine graduate. Our students enjoy an active and engaging learning experience, winning national awards for the hands-on work they accomplish. We’ve invested more than $8 million in the Division of Innovation and Technology. And we recently unveiled a new, high-tech Project Based Learning Center for Excellence.
