REAL-WORLD RELIABILITY
Computers are intrinsic to contemporary
life. People in every part of the world
connect with computers, software and
networks that support energy, transportation,
health care, banking and other vital
services. However, computer systems, and
the software, hardware and security that
support them, are prone to failure.
Creating dependable software systems
requires solving complex, multi-faceted
challenges—from algorithms through to
architecture. These are challenges that UBC’s
new Master of Engineering Leadership
in Dependable Software Systems degree
will enable you to decode.

If you’re thinking about concentrating your career in
this sector, think about the difference a year at UBC
can make. Build knowledge. Cross disciplines and
boundaries. Gain confidence. Master the leadership
skills that will take you to the next level. Invest in
yourself, and in this growing field, at UBC.
Maintaining the integrity and reliability of computer systems software is of growing
global importance to the private sector, institutions and governments. Graduates
of UBC’s Master of Engineering Leadership (MEL) in Dependable Software Systems
will be able to apply these sought-after skills in a diverse variety of application areas.
This program is designed to provide the software professional with a graduate-level
degree balanced between advanced engineering theories, interdisciplinary knowledge
and real-world applications.
A COMPREHENSIVE CURRICULUM
ONE YEAR, INTENSIVE STUDY, FACE TO FACE
The Master of Engineering Leadership in Dependable Software Systems will enable participants to
become adept at translating research ideas into practice as they deepen their understanding of how
software-intensive systems are engineered through collaborative processes. Problem formulation,
organization and planning of solution processes are key content areas. Students will also gain
exposure to dependability issues in the most common software-intensive industries and acquire
project design experience in an application area. Students will apply this intensive learning to a
capstone project and develop a portfolio to reflect their capabilities.
The Master of Engineering Leadership in Dependable Software Systems is offered on a
January through December calendar year. It is designed with a 60% focus on technical
specialization and 40% on a leadership platform designed to enhance the business,
communication and people skills of program participants.
In addition to acquiring specialist skills in a dynamic software development niche, the Master of
Engineering Leadership in Dependable Software Systems offers participants the opportunity to focus
on courses that build a foundation of project management, communication and leadership skills—
to prepare graduates to become effective technical managers who are adept at collaborative teamwork.
The comprehensive curriculum is grounded in collaborative projects with other students
and faculty, and with industry professionals from the Vancouver region, which is a growing
hub for software technology development.
The 12-month full-time curriculum is intense and exhilarating!
Curriculum follows the Industry Value Chain
