Summary

Software technology is about building and using systems for productive and leisure activities, and understanding the principles that underlie such systems. It focuses on algorithms, data structures and the principles of engineering-quality software.  

In the Software Technology major, you’ll learn how to control computers by programming them. You’ll gain skills and experience in software, programming languages, structured programming, programming practice, research and development, project planning and project delivery. The computers you’ll command include the smallest embedded devices, the largest centralised servers and everything in between. You’ll operate productively with at least one commercially relevant software stack and build commercial software systems. Alongside IT professionals, you’ll contribute to complex software projects, and design and build new software artefacts.
