Fun fact
Did you know the term “bug” in computing comes from a real insect that once caused a computer to fail? The insect was taped into the logbook as proof! In Software Engineering, you’ll learn to track down and fix these “bugs”—and, more importantly, to design and build the software that powers tomorrow’s world.
