Career Paths: Software Engineering Student's Book (+ Cross-platform Application)

 

1.  Webpage

 

Fedinand Technical Institute(FTI) > Degree Programs > Software Engineering

 

A bachelor's degree from FTI is a great way to begin your software engineering career. We have one of the finest(최고의) programs in the country. 

 

During the foundation year, students learn engineering principles. They also take mathematics courses, including linear algebra(선형대수학) and calculus(미적분학).

 

Software engineers must understand hardware components, too. Fundamental(기본적인) courses in computer engineering teach the basics of computer architecture. They also cover physical properties(특성) of general electronics. This includes the application of electrical principles in advanced circuit analysis.

 

After the basics, students take upper-level software engineering courses. Thses cover implementation of control systems and complex programming.

 

 

 

Summary

Software engineering students take foundation courses in mathematics, such as calculus and linear algebra, before they take upper-level courses.

 

*bachelor's degree: 학사

*linear algebra: 선형대수학

*application: 응용

*circuit anaysis: 회로분석

*implemation : 구현
