Software and App Design

The Software and App Design instructional program prepares students to apply basic engineering principles and technical skills to support engineers in developing, implementing, and evaluating computer software and program applications.

Throughout the Software and App Design instructional program, students learn how to program, programming languages, databases, user interfaces, networking and warehousing, encryption and security, software testing and evaluation, and customization. Students also develop leadership and community service skills through participation in a career technical student organization (CTSO) SkillsUSA, where they have the opportunity to compete at a local, state, or international level.
