Q: What is Software Engineering?
Software Engineering is the systematic, disciplined, and quantifiable approach to the design, development, operation, and maintenance of software systems. It applies engineering principles to create reliable, efficient, and economical software.

Q: How is BS-SE different from BS-CS?
While both programs share foundational computing courses, BS-SE focuses specifically on the software lifecycle — requirements engineering, software design & architecture, quality engineering, project management, and systematic development methodologies. BS-CS has broader coverage of computing theory and electives.

Q: Is there a Final Year Project?
Yes, students complete a two-semester Final Year Project (6 credit hours) involving the full software development lifecycle from requirements to deployment.

Q: Does this program meet HEC standards?
Yes, the program fully meets the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan and international standards for a four-year bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering.

Q: Are there internships in this program?
Yes, 2 internships (2 credit hours total) are included to provide industry exposure and professional experience in software development environments.
