TRAINING CHARACTERISTICS

This major using 3 + 1 training mode, with characteristics of interdisciplinary,  system ability highlights and engineering quality cultivation. The cultivation plans pay attention to the basic knowledge study of software engineering discipline and the engineering quality cultivation, and at the same time, reflect the specialty features such as application software, system software, domain software and more.

LENGTH OF SCHOOLING, BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION AND DEGREE GRANTING

1 Undergraduate basic educational system normally takes 4 years, with flexible learning time of 3-6 years, in accordance with the credit management system.

2 Students majoring in software engineering graduate with at least 165 credits, including various types of courses and procedure requirements of credits. Credits required are listed in the following table:

3. The students who complete the training program consisting of required courses, elective courses and related courses, achieve the required minimum graduation marks, and complete the courses required with qualified ethics, intellectual and health. Meet the degree granting requirements of the relevant documents will be awarded the degree of Bachelor of Engineering.

THE CURRICULUM AND CREDIT DISTRIBUTION

(a) general education curriculum (compulsory 24 + (6) elective credits + 8 credits)

General education curriculum includes two parts. The compulsory and electives. Electives are in accordance with the Hunan University general elective courses (Quality Education) program. The general compulsory courses are as follows:

(b) subject core courses (24 credits)

(c) college core courses (30 credits)

(d) major core courses (23 credits)

(e) major elective courses (18 credits)

(1) major limited course (3 credits)

The students must take the only course in order to strengthen the major and professional foundation for a total of 3 credits.

(2) major all-you-can-choose elective courses (15 credits)

Major elective courses using a combination of concentration and optional courses, students first select 3 out of 4 courses from one concentration (concentration include software engineering theory and method, computer system software and network , software engineering technology, domain software engineering), and then select 2 courses from other concentrations (we encourage cross-concentration elective courses and we advise students to pick one course in both the fourth and fifth semester, three courses in the sixth semester), in total choosing a total of 15 credits. Courses offer are as follows:

Note:

1) We encourage students take major or cross-major elective courses, credits should be not less than 50% of “should have” credits.

2) During the period of study, if the student participated in academic competitions or published academic papers and the college identified (see < College of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, Hunan University Academic Research Classification Guidance and Technology Innovation Achievements Guidance >), you may apply to substitute two elective credits.

(f) centralized practice (38 credits)
