Undergraduate Educational Objectives
All courses and programs in the Department of Computer Engineering and Computer Science are designed to meet the following objectives: Students will receive a comprehensive education in Computer Engineering and/or Computer Science, as well as the sciences and humanities, that will serve them in both their professional and personal lives. Students will be able to analyze and solve problems in Computer Engineering and/or Computer Science using modern techniques, skills, and tools. Students will be able to communicate effectively. Students will be able to design systems, components or processes that meet performance, cost, time, safety, and quality requirements. Students will understand their professional responsibilities, including remaining current in their field of study, and will be able to analyze the social and ethical implications of their work.
Undergraduate Degree Programs
The Department of Computer Engineering and Computer Science offers programs leading to a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering, or a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, The goal of both programs is to prepare graduates for a wide variety of computer-related careers by integrating the theoretical foundations of the discipline with practical applications. The degree in Computer Engineering focuses on computer hardware (design, construction, and operation of computer systems) while the Computer Science degree places more emphasis on computer software (algorithms). The high school student planning to enter either program is advised to pursue a strong program in science and mathematics.
