Program Benefits
The aim of the educational program "Software Engineering" (09.03.04) was created based on both the trends in the development of this field's education due to the current situation in the job market and the demand for graduates in engineering and technical skills.
Engineering disciplines are the most important part of the curriculum. They include our own methods to teach and show the achievements in the scientific and scientific-practical spheres of the institute. The lectures and seminars specialize in software engineering and reflect the key technologies in the IT industry. These include Big Data technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT), digital production, mobile technologies, cyber security, audio-video information processing and recognition, AI technologies and the development and testing of game applications.
The educational program is put into action through the Department`s work with the business organizations in the field of information technologies. It helps to make sure that education is based on high professional standards. They are the latest science and technology achievements included in the curriculum and requirements considered in the educational process for specialists who will work in enterprises or organizations.
Students get high-quality education, opportunities to take part in workshops and seminars, the ability to design and develop software for different areas of modern IT technologies. They also learn to use various coding languages to solve real-world problems.
All work during the education like practice, research, internship, pre-graduation practice and creative projects take place with the cooperation of IT companies. Many professors of these disciplines are simultaneously active employees of IT companies
Students are actively involved in project activities both during and outside the educational process. Also, students can take part in many sports programming competitions and tournaments. It includes competitions organized by the Agency for the Development of Professions and Skills (WorldSkills Russia). There are also many hackathons organized in the Institute of Computer Technologies and Information Security SFedU.
Prospects. Career & Employment
