Software Development Program
Software Development Program:
The objective of the Software Development program is to educate students on the basics of programming languages. Students learn the various data types of the language and formulate an optimal and efficient logic to arrive at the output. The program introduces the concept of data structures and helps them learn the various algorithms related to those structures. Students also learn advanced features of SQL programming and an understanding of major Linux commands.
The program is 1140 hours (57 weeks) with an optional co-op work experience of 480 hours.
