Course Overview
Are you wondering what it takes to become a software engineer? This long-standing career path has not only been considered a top career for the past 20 years, but it continues to grow, adapt, and refine itself to our ever-changing
world. You can explore your options and sharpen your skills in this Open Source Software Engineering course that is derived from an onboarding session for entry-level collegiate new hires.
This course simulates a two-week period of work for a corporate client. Students will begin with a team project kickoff and end with a presentation of work accomplished. Students will assume the various roles of software engineers and participate in mock meetings with clients, data analysis and review, quality assurance and more as they navigate the project from start to finish.
Open source software is free to the public and may be distributed and shared, bringing us notable names such as Python, Gimp, Linux, Mozilla Firefox, WordPress, and VLC Media Player.
