Edwards now offers software engineering courses

“We have been encouraged by Kansas City’s high-tech industry to provide our software engineering area of focus to the technical professionals in the metropolitan area,” said Scott Hinton, chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The program will focus on the “practitioners,” people who are already in the field but who do not have strong training or a formal education in software engineering, said Hossein Saiedian, professor of electrical engineering and computer science.

The new courses are timely — a number of prominent regional businesses produce software that is key to their economic success, Saiedian said.
