Software Engineering

This program falls within the field of software engineering and, in particular, offers training focused on automating the stages of the software life cycle while ensuring the quality of the software product. It covers all stages of the software life cycle, from design to maintenance, including code compilation, optimization, and testing. Within this framework, several aspects related to these stages are studied, such as the modularization and reuse of programs, their semantics and operational safety, as well as their model-driven development and evolution. In this program, special attention has been given to the current interactions between software engineering and a number of other related fields (artificial intelligence, robotics, healthcare, the environment, etc.). The involvement of numerous industry partners ensures that the program is aligned with the demands of the industrial sector.

Students who have completed a CMI-accredited (Master’s in Engineering)computer science bachelor’s degree may continue their studies in the CMI program in the following tracks: Algorithms (Algo), Software Engineering (GL), Imagine (Imagine), and Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (IASD). As a reminder, the Master of Engineering in Computer Science is a rigorous, intensive five-year program that builds upon the Bachelor’s–Master’s degree track in Computer Science by adding specific course units. The CMI was developed as a complementary training model for engineering professions, consisting of a five-year degree program leading to a Master’s in Engineering, corresponding to the international Master of Engineering model. This CMI designation guarantees a coherent and rigorous university curriculum preparing students for careers as expert engineers. Upon completion of the CMI in Computer Science, graduates receive—in addition to the Master’s in Computer Science—a Master’s in Management from the Institute of Business Administration (IAE), the Figure network accreditation, and a university diploma (D.U.) in the Master’s in Engineering—Computer Science program. The CMI in Computer Science is offered as a work-study Master’s 2 program.

For students interested in earning a dual degree from the IAE—a Master’s in Technology and Science Management: the option is available (based on application review) to pursue, concurrently with the initial program, a management program leading to a Master’s degree in Technology and Science Management. Over the course of the two-year program, the curriculum alternates between computer science courses (taught by the FdS) and management courses (taught by the IAE), with a joint internship approved by both institutions in the second year. This dual-degree program allows students to graduate with both a Master’s in Computer Science and a Master’s in Management of Technology and Science.
