Software engineers are responsible for the design and development of computer software and applications.

Software engineers must analyze end-user needs and then design, build, test and maintain an application that meets those needs.
Required Education and Experience
There are no clear-cut rules for becoming a software engineer and employer requirements often vary significantly from job to job. In many cases, proven experience can be more important than the type of degree an engineer holds; however, many engineers major in subjects like computer science, math or engineering.
