Computer Science

Mission

To provide each student with a solid foundation in the scientific, engineering, and societal aspects of computing that prepares the student for a career that can advance the creation and application of computing technologies for the benefit of society.

Goals

To educate students with core knowledge of the software, hardware, and theory of computing; to give each student in-depth knowledge in one or more computing areas; and to develop leaders in this field.

Objectives

To provide the necessary foundation in the principles and methods of computer science while preparing students for a broad range of responsible technical positions in industry and/or advanced graduate education.
To provide the technical skills necessary to design and implement computer systems and applications, to conduct open-ended problem solving, and apply critical thinking.
To provide an opportunity to work effectively on teams, to communicate in written and oral form, and to develop an appreciation of ethics and social awareness needed to prepare graduates for successful careers and leadership positions.
To offer students the opportunity to deepen their technical understanding in a particular subject area by a program of related technical electives, or to obtain a broader education in mathematics, science, or engineering by a flexible choice of technical and free electives.

Outcomes

The outcomes we desire are that our graduates demonstrate:

An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.
An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.
An ability to design, implement, test, and evaluate a computer system, component, or algorithm to meet desired needs.
An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams.
An ability to identify, formulate, and solve computer science problems.
An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
An ability to communicate effectively.
The broad education necessary to understand the impact of computer science solutions in a global and societal context.
A recognition of the need for an ability to engage in life-long learning.
A knowledge of contemporary issues.
An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern tools necessary for computer science practice.
A knowledge of probability and statistics, including applications appropriate to computer science.
A knowledge of mathematics through differential and integral calculus, basic sciences, and engineering sciences necessary to analyze and design complex computing systems, as appropriate to program objectives.
