<p>My school is offering a software engineering minor, I was wondering if you can actually get a job as a software engineer with only a minor. If not what can somebody do with this kind of minor? Does it have any value?</p>
<p>I have a EE degree and did not go out of my way to take CS/programming classes yet I have a job that is usually programming (although not always). It’s more programming than anything else, however.</p>
<p>can you do a CS major/SE minor?</p>
<p>of course if you’re a EE or general engineering major, then yes itll help you get a SE job…my CS teacher was an EE major and he was a software engineer</p>
<p>Definition of software engineering degree seems to vary school by school. I don’t think anyone can give you an accurate answer with the limited information about the curriculum you have provided.</p>
<ul>
<li>COP 2006 Introduction to Programming (3)
<ul>
<li>COP 2001 Programming Methodology (3)</li>
<li>COP 3530 Data Structures (3)</li>
<li>COP 3003 Object Oriented Programming (3)</li>
<li>CEN 3031 Software Engineering (3)</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>These are the only classes required of the minor, I could finish the minor in a single semester and still have enough room for some of my major</p>
<p>I’m a poli sci major by the way, don’t know if i really fit in here! :P</p>
<p>It depends on the needs of that particular employer. If a particular employer has been having trouble finding software engineers from the CompSci, CompEngr and Math majors, they will look at other majors with a software background.</p>
<p>Just do NOT take some SoftEngr set of courses that offers a “course per software engineering phase”. Take all-around software engineering course like the one you posted (CEN-3031).</p>
<p>
Looks like a minor in CS, but again, varies from school to school.</p>
<p>Depends the kind of career path. Even if you graduate from a CS, you have a lot to learn from working. So that’s being said, if you find it;s benefitcal and you are interested in it, by all means please do it. We are giving what WE think is the best for “ourselves” literally.</p>
