| Computer Science and Engineering |
Three undergraduate degree tracks are offered within Computer Science and Engineering. These tracks are Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Information Systems, which lead to the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering, in Computer Science and in Information Systems respectively. · The Computer Engineering track emphasizes the application of engineering principles to the design of computer hardware and software · The Computer Science track focuses on the theory of computation and computer organization. · The Information Systems track combines a basic coverage of hardware and software with a core of business related courses and additional course work in areas such as networks and database. Graduates from these programs follow fruitful careers developing either scientific or business application’s of computers, as well as in the design of computer systems. They are often involved in the systems level definition of information processing complexes for both manufacturers of computers and for users. A wide and expanding variety of design and applications opportunities characterize this field. The rapid growth and continual change within this field makes it essential for students to acquire a broad foundation in applied mathematics and the physical sciences, and to develop communication skills and to become familiar with the domains of potential computer application in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Research and development opportunities as a computer scientist and engineer, often following graduate education, are present in the areas of computer architecture and VSLI design, artificial intelligence, software engineering, digital data communications, multimedia, robotics, database, networks, user interface, fault-tolerant computing and testing, computer graphics, image processing and computer vision, and simulation.
