Accreditation: ABET

Program in Computer Science (CSCI)

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering in Computer Science is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

Mission

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) in Computer Science provides students with an in-depth education in the conceptual foundations of computer science and in complex software and hardware systems. It allows them to explore the connections between computer science and a variety of other disciplines in engineering and outside. Combined with a strong education in mathematics, sciences, and the liberal arts it prepares students to be leaders in computer science practice, applications to other disciplines, and research.

Program Educational Outcomes

Graduates from the program will:

  1. Have demonstrated the ability to successfully apply the analytical, problem solving, design and technical skills developed during the course of their education to various tasks and challenges that arise in the course of their careers or further studies.
  2. Perform successfully as members and leaders of multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams.
  3. Demonstrate effective communication skills, and have an appreciation for non-technical disciplines.
  4. Have developed the ethical sensibilities and global perspective that allow them to appreciate how the decisions they make impact their community and society at large.

Student Outcomes

Students graduating with a degree in Computer Science have:

  1. Analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions.
  2. Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline.
  3. Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts.
  4. Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles.
  5. Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline.
  6. Apply computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions.
