Profiles and outcomes
The professional we train and the competencies you will develop
- Professional Profile
Software development in the world is one of the fastest growing industries, which demands qualified labor and is aligned with the productive matrix, since its applications and services contribute substantially to the different strategic areas of the country.
In addition, the Ministry Coordinator of Knowledge and Human Talent, mentions on its website that one of the 10 careers of the future is Software Engineering, in which the development and maintenance of computer programs today is essential since we live in the computer age, and that in all areas of our lives, there is software involved.
For this reason, scenarios have been considered within which the roles and functions that the software engineer will perform have been determined, which is detailed below:
Working scenarios:
Scenarios in which a professional in the Software Career can develop
- Software Industry
- Research, innovation and development companies
- Companies with development units
- Auditing and consulting firms
- Academic Area
Roles and functions:
Systems Analyst
- Capture, document, validate and manage requirements of the system to be built.
- Model the software application, using techniques for modeling processes, data, object orientation, agile, among others.
- Implement the models using a programming paradigm.
User Interface Designer
- Design and implement system user interfaces
- Design and execute usability tests.
- Verify interface design with software requirements specification
Database Designer and Administrator
- Configure and optimize database engines.
- Manage indexes, views, and constraints
- Design and implement databases.
Test Engineer (Tester)
- Design and execute unit, integration, system, and acceptance test plans.
- Document the completeness and accuracy of all project documents.
- Design and execute static product reviews (inspections)
- Identify and apply quality assurance processes in accordance with the specifications of the software requirements.
Software Architect
- Generate the architectural design and detailed design of the system, based on the requirements.
- Generate rapid prototypes of the system to verify completeness of requirements.
- Generate the architectural design document of the software, and keep it updated during the project.
- Validate that the final product fits the design of the software architecture.
Software Project Manager
- Estimating and planning the development of a software project
- Establish the lifecycle model for the project.
- Carry out the monitoring and quality control of the project.
- Manage project irrigation
- Manage software settings
- Plan acquisitions and supplies of base software (Operating Systems, Database, CASE, among others), to develop software applications.
Software Engineering Auditor – Consultant
- Validate the intermediate and final products created by the software development process after closure.
- Advise on the acquisition, supply of base software applications and/or specific applications.
Researcher
- Generate and plan Software Engineering projects with national and international funding.
- Execute software product development projects
- Manage Software Engineering projects
- Participate in national and international research networks
- Manage the technology transfer of methods, techniques, methodologies and results of research carried out in the field of Software Engineering.
- Promote initiatives and ventures for the creation of software companies.
Given the large number of functions that the software engineering professional can perform, and their performance in the different areas of the organization, whether public or private, they must continuously integrate into multi-professional and interdisciplinary teams to ensure the logic of the software development process and integrate the software engineering strategies of their points in management. and to maintain interculturality to contribute to the sustainable development of the localities.
- Graduate Profile
The future professional in Software Engineering will use a solid training in each of the basic nuclei of the career, developing the necessary competencies to solve problems in any area of their professional field, regardless of the nature of the problem, maintaining a broad vision and notion of the needs of all those involved.
These basic nuclei articulate the knowledge of the Software Career, with the demand that is identified in the productive matrix and the policies of the National Plan for Good Living, evidencing the coherence that must exist between the university and the needs of the country.
The following structuring nuclei are identified for the Software Career: Fundamentals of Computing, Software Engineering and Management, Infrastructure, Security and Technology Management, and Research and Professional Development. The structuring nuclei presented are related to the guidelines issued by the Association for Computing Machinery – Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (ACM-IEEE version 2015), which promotes, among other things, a catalog of concepts and criteria around the different disciplines, programs or careers of Computer Science that have emerged as part of the vertiginous advance of Information and Communication Technologies.
