Bachelor of Science (Hons)
in Software Engineering with Multimedia

The course concentrates on the investigation of the dual role of multimedia software engineering to apply software engineering principles to the design of multimedia systems, and to apply multimedia technologies to the practice of software engineering. Multimedia has two fundamental characteristics that can be expressed by the formula: Multimedia = Multiple Media + Hypermedia. How can software engineering take advantage of these two characteristics? Will these two characteristics pose problems in multimedia systems design?. A framework for MSE is presented. Students will gain practical experience on multimedia applications development from class examples and the experimental software.
