Therefore, this program does not pursue academic and theoretical education; however, students will first learn skills required for software developers, such as basic computer programming, software development methods, data structure, algorithm, communication, system programming, database, and operating system, which are the skills required by software developers. Students will then perform multiple software projects in the form of intensive education to learn skills required in real projects.

Thus, this program aims to cultivate a workforce that can be put into real projects right away.
