Students in Wyoming may soon have access to an innovative program in software engineering through a partnership involving Cardiff University in Wales, United Kingdom; the University of Wyoming; Wyoming community colleges; and industry partners in the state.
UW has developed a memorandum of understanding with Cardiff University to cultivate academic and cultural interchange between the two institutions. This agreement will make available to Wyoming students an applied software engineering degree, based on a curriculum offered by Cardiff’s School of Computer Science and Informatics, possibly as early as fall 2021.
During an appearance on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse, UW Director of Institutional Communications Chad Baldwin told listeners this partnership is also an example of Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon’s initiative, Wyoming Innovation Network.
