College Diploma - Software Engineering Technician - Fast Track (3428)

Centennial College's Software Engineering Technician (Fast-Track) program will allow students to gain direct admission into Year 2 (Semester 3) of the two-year program and receive their diploma in one year (two semesters), for those students who are a qualified college or university graduate with a software background. This fast-track version is ideal for students who are seeking a shorter-term program for timely reentry into the workplace.

While most people just use software, in this college engineering program students will learn to design, develop and maintain various software applications, human computer interfaces and enterprise information systems.

Through a combination of theory and hands-on learning, students will acquire solid knowledge of software engineering methodologies, programming languages, design and algorithm concepts, data management tools and networking fundamentals. The coursework will emphasize object-oriented software design methodologies, user-oriented interface design, C#, Java, Oracle, MS-SQL Server, Microsoft's ASP.NET Core, and software testing and QA.

To underscore the curriculum's applied focus, the School of Engineering Technology and Applied Science program will include a software development project. A real-world business application, it will give students the opportunity to utilize all the technical and business skills acquired during their time in the program to build high-quality software.
