   Core Course Description

   Course Code	Course	Synopsis
   IAM6113	Research Methodology	This course will prepare students for their individual research project or dissertation.   Students are exposed with the tools to conceptualize their theses in terms of research questions and design, methodology, data collection and qualitative analysis, searching the literature and citation.
   IAM6123	Interactive System Design	This course provides students on connections between the use and creation of interactive design systems are explored and conceptual and practical knowledge is built by bridging the design and software development domains. In the context of a project, the problem-solving perspectives to design and to systems development are applied to analyses and formulate design problems at the task-level, and to develop and evaluate systems as solutions. Methods to develop prototype systems employing software platforms and API‘s for rapid solutions are introduced. Students develop an understanding of how to customize existing design support systems or to build new systems and are prepared to take part in interdisciplinary teams developing such systems.
   IAM6133	Advanced Database Technology	This course provides students basic database concept to advance concept focusing on applications of the database technology for organizations. Students will further look at the different applications exist in an enterprise and try to understand the database requirements for them to be developed. Students are required to conduct a study and to come out with proposed solution on how the enterprise could integrate their applications.
   ISM6113	Software Engineering Process	This course introduces state-of-the-art software engineering processes, including software requirements specification, planning, design, documentation, development, review, defect tracking, testing, product delivery, and product evaluation. Mimicking real-life work environment, students work in teams to design, develop, and evaluate software products using open source software engineering tools.
   ISM6123	Software Requirements and Elicitation	This course introduce requirements engineering process, strategy and method for getting real customer requirements, requirements acquisition, business process reengineering, requirements elicitation, conceptual modelling and specification, capturing rationale – traceability, different types of non-functional requirements, early, analysis and requirements change and management.
   ISM6133	Software Testing and Quality Assurance	This course will expose the students with the testing and quality assurance in software engineering environment in order to enable the students to differentiate the good from bad software. Furthermore, the subject will provide the students with certain standard in organizations. The students will learn the concept, structure, and process found in certain standard. Furthermore, they will know the advantage and disadvantage of standard.
   ISM6143	Software Design and Architectural	This course introduces basic concepts and principles about software design and software architecture. It starts with discussion on design issues, followed by coverage on design patterns. It then gives an overview of architectural structures and styles. Practical approaches and methods for creating and analysing software architecture are presented. The emphasis is on the interaction between quality attributes and software architecture. Students will also gain experiences with examples in design pattern application and case studies in software architecture.
   ISM6153	Software Project Management	This course is to introduce the concept of Software Project Management and evaluate its implementation in today’s business. Within this context particular attention will be given to the Project Management Body of Knowledge as defined by the Project Management Institute (PMI). The 9 project management knowledge areas will also be highlighted, in order to ensure the students understand the project management concept. Students will understand the practical knowledge and understanding of change control and project management processes associated with the implementation of information and communications technology in business organizations
   ISM6213	Software Engineering Professional Issues	This course gives aspirations at a high level of abstraction in software engineering issues.   It will covers on engineering profession, anatomy of software house, intellectual property right, computer contracts and IEEE-CS documents.
   ICM6113	Advanced Network Technology	This course provides advanced network technology such as distributed networking, securing network and other related issues.
   ICM6123	Advanced Programming Technology	This course exposes students to the depth and breadth of modern programming practice, with the goal of making students better programmers. It is, however, an advanced level module in which some advanced programming concepts are taught.

    

   Career  Opportunities

   MCS(SE) program leads to a second qualification which allows graduates to enter into a profession and which teaches both scientific as well as consulting and management abilities. Master of CS (SE) graduates can look for the following career, such as:

   1. Software Engineer
   2. Software Designer
   3. Quality Assurance Manager
   4. Testing Engineer
   5. Educator (as lecturer or trainer)
   6. Researcher or System developer

   Expected Salary

   • Public Sector: Basic starting monthly salary is around RM2800; plus allowances (such as housing and entertainment) the total can amount to around RM3500.
   • Private Sector: The amount of basic starting monthly salary can vary from the above amount. However, the total amount of monthly salary earned (inclusive of allowances) is subject to negotiation and which can be higher than that earned in the public sector.
