This year’s program is being spotlighted for its application of industry techniques, especially in the areas of software engineering, network and distributed computing, and web engineering. Especially popular among the current course offerings is “Software Engineering Processes” comprised of a mixture of traditional software engineering theory and refactoring methods to support more dynamic lifecycles.

“We are blessed to be able to start this year’s program, and for all of the hard work from our Dean, faculty members and administrators,” Wong said.
