Program description

The Software Engineering Learning Community is a non-residential, course-based learning community program for first year software engineering students. Students will take a set of required courses with other software engineering students. In the fall semester, students will take a first-semester course, S E 101: Software Engineering Orientation.

Students will also be enrolled in common courses and participate in structured activities.

During spring semester, students will participate in S E 166: Software Engineering Careers.
