Software Design & Integration (SDI) requires no prior coding experience and introduces students to software development and design thinking. SDI builds students’ understanding of basic coding concepts by engaging them through games. This program uses hardware and software to explore the software development process.

Students will navigate software’s multi-faceted world following a project-based road map to acquire key professional skills. Students develop games through object-oriented programming and basic control structures, leaving them with a significant sense of accomplishment. SDI establishes a solid foundation in software development and creates a big-picture understanding of interface management and the engineering process at large.
