What Does a Software Engineer Do?
A Software Engineer is central to any business that either makes its own computer programs or needs to customize third-party software. They are responsible for writing, testing and editing programs. The field features specialists in the many different layers of development. It is also fast moving. Graduates in Software Engineering must also learn on the job, or they will find their knowledge becomes out-of-date very quickly.
What Qualifications Does a Software Engineer Need?
Typically, Software Engineers have graduated with Computer Science or Computer Programming degrees. Increasingly, colleges and universities are offering specific Software Engineering majors. Degrees in math or broader science subjects are also a base for a Software Engineering career. Software Engineers need in-depth knowledge of programming languages such as Java, Python and C++. They must also understand HTML5, CSS3 and content management systems.
