Descriptions

The extent of the engineering education is 240 ECTS credits. The first year of ICT studies consist of two study themes, Software and Hardware, that have been divided into four 15 ECTS courses. They provide fundamental knowledge and skills in the field of ICT. Professional and project studies, mathematics, physics as well as language and communication skills are integrated in the courses to enable phenomenon-based learning. During the first year, students study in small groups working full-time.

Students will choose their major at the end of their first-year studies. Major studies develop and deepen students’ professional competence. Major options are Health Technology, Software Engineering and Smart IoT Systems: Embedded IoT Devices. There are two Software Engineering study paths. One focuses on machine learning and the other on mobile development at the end of the professional studies.

Structure of the degree (240 ECTS):
- Orientation to Information and Communication Technology 60 ECTS
- Fundamental Professional Studies 30 ECTS
- Advanced Professional Studies 65 ECTS
- Common Professional Studies 25 ETCS
- Elective Studies 15 ECTS
- Work Placement 30 ECTS
- Bachelor's Thesis 15 ECTS

The content of the studies is based on working life and partly phenomenon-based learning. Some of the studies, where applicable, are connected to Metropolia's innovation hubs and multidisciplinary projects there. The implementation of the courses will take into account the principles of sustainable development where applicable. Students can also complete some of their studies as an exchange student in international partner universities. During work placement, students will apply knowledge and skills to practice and are able to further develop their professional competence.

Objective

The competence matrix and the descriptions of the ICT competences and Metropolia's generic competences are attached to this curriculum.

Description

In the major of Software Engineering, the course of the software development process is learned from customer requirements to the publication of the final product. In addition, key operating models, working methods and tools used in working life are learned and good programming skills are acquired. The main professional content is: • object-oriented programming and web programming • data structures, algorithms and design patterns • software engineering process • user-centric design • databases and database systems • machine learning and neural networks • secure software development and protection against security threats. Software engineers are employed extensively in a variety of software development roles, either in IT companies in the IT industry or in IT departments in other industries. Job titles include software tester, Java developer, full stack programmer, and software architect. some of the graduated engineers employ themselves in their own companies. Differences between the two Software Engineering study paths: This study path focuses towards machine learning and neural networks at the end of the major studies, and the other study path to mobile development.
