Software engineering at UO is a CO-OP only program that emphasizes innovation and teamwork to develop practical, solution-driven thinking. 

During their fourth-year project, students in this program can form teams and leverage their work experience to create real applications; some students even start their own companies. 

They learn how to apply engineering principles—including rapid prototyping, requirements analysis, system modelling, design, implementation, testing and project management—to develop software.
