The Software Engineering Specialization is available for both the Bachelor of Computer Science (BCS) and the Bachelor of Mathematics (Computer Science) (BMath) plans. This Specialization is offered jointly by the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Given that the specialization involves two faculties, it has slightly different realizations in those faculties. Students who complete this Specialization do not qualify for the professional engineering designation. The course requirements are the same as for the BCS and BMath with the following additional requirements:
