Student review [#48659] for Software Engineering
at Western University - UWO

Overall, a very welcoming and friendly environment. Coming from the engineering program, they provide you with a strong program and environment to help you explore many potential options on what you might want to pursue in the future. The first year is a general engineering program, which is ideal for students who know they want to pursue engineering but are not quite sure as to what engineering discipline they want to pursue. With nine different engineering programs to choose from – seven of which are accredited and the other two of which can be taken on as a dual degree in combination a few of the accredited disciplines – students can experience each of the disciplines before making their final decision as to what they want to pursue. As a student in the software engineering program, they provide ample opportunity to discover several different aspects of software engineering, from artificial intelligence to game design to web development, they give you sufficient background knowledge in order to discover your passion to pursue in your future career. The only con is the (occasional) lack of communication between faculty in order to accommodate the best timings for students in terms of assignment deadlines and exam times. However, professors never want to see students fail, and will accommodate whenever necessary.
