Course Overview
The university's world-class research in software engineering, computer science, human-computer interaction, language technology, and robotics is often cited. Graduates report that their study in areas such as software architecture and project management are highly-sought by corporate recruiters. The Master of Science in Information Technology ' Embedded Software Engineering (MSIT-ESE) is a 16-month professional masters degree program drawing from the combined resources and strengths of the School of Computer Science's Institute for Software Research (ISR) and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). The professionally-oriented degree provides the foundations and skills in computer science, hardware and electrical engineering, and systems engineering necessary for effective embedded software engineering. The use of an application-based capstone MSIT Project is a central component in the curriculum, and is particularly appropriate for students who intend to return to industry after receiving their degree.
