program synopsis

Engineering programs at AIT are designed to produce technically competent graduates that also have knowledge about the process of engineering — how things are designed, refined, and put into production —while taking into account real-world engineering requirements and constraints. Our engineering programs place emphasis on the design of engineering process, systems, and outputs. The objectives of the program — which is in-line with the mission of AIT, is to produce high calibre graduates in Software Engineering using internationally benchmarked curriculum. As such the Program is designed to meet the IEEE stipulations and the requirements.

The program is designed to provide our students with the knowledge and associated skills in the broad field of Software Engineering. Over the four year program a range of skills-based, generic subjects will be sustained in order to develop the student as a versatile graduate and as a ‘life-long learner’. Students on this program will acquire the basic experimental, design, and communication skills and be prepared for employment in a broad spectrum of Electrical and Electronic Engineering , or for continued study at the postgraduate level.
