Software and Informatics Engineering Department
The Software an Informatics Engineering Department (SIE) established in 2000 with accepting just 20 students.
The Engineering College was the first college to start this prestigious branch.The number of students gradually increased year by year, so now we have over 450 students for BSc. courses.
In 2002 the department has started to open high diploma courses, afterwards in 2006 MSc. courses started to be given to postgraduate students.
The department act as a dynamic research department, drawing skilled researchers from the region and reacting swiftly to the changing technological landscape. Some 30 researchers are currently working within the department, including academic staff, research staff, and research students. A part of these research activities, the department has a well-known annual fair named SEDAF.
Graduates of the software engineering department will be recognized as innovative leaders in the field of software engineering by their work in software development in a myriad of application areas, and through their work in advanced study and research. The department will continue to be known for their passion for teaching these students and for their knowledge, expertise, and innovation in advancing the frontiers of knowledge in software engineering.
The software engineering department mission is to teach and prepare liberally educated, articulate, and skilled software engineers for leadership and professional careers and for advanced study. A central objective of our department program is to contribute to society by advancing the fields of software engineering through innovations in teaching and research thus enhancing student knowledge through interactive instruction, global engagement, and experiential learning, also the program will serve as a resource to inform society about innovations related to the production and uses of computers and software.
Software Engineering Department Fair (SEDAF) :
The exhibition aims to focus attention on the extensive research activities undertaken within the software and to give our students the opportunity to present their project to the Kurdistan’s community. The entire projects are designed and proposed for both private and public sectors use, and hence the government institutions in particular will get benefit in implementing these projects in order to provide services to the citizens effectively and efficiently.
There are different professional software projects for presentation in the exhibition along with various posters every year. The projects are more feasible for KRG’s institutions.
