Computer Science
The Computer Science and Software Engineering degrees are both
housed under the Computer Science Department.
The Computer Science Department at Montana Tech of the University
of Montana seeks to teach students the practical techniques of computer
programming, networking, data base management, and large scale software
development as well as the mathematical and theoretical foundations
of problem solving with computer assistance. The Computer Science
Degree is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering
and Technology (ABET) Computing Accreditation Committee. The Software
Engineering Degree is positioned to be accredited in the Fall Semester
of 2008 by ABET Engineering Accreditation Committee.
In addition to serving the students majoring in computer science
or software engineering, the department also provides instruction
and laboratory experience to students from most other majors on
campus. Enrollments in the upper division courses average approximately
10 students, allowing significant interaction with faculty. Lower
division course enrollments may be larger, reflecting the service
nature of these courses.
The Computer Science Department has the following program objectives:
to prepare computer science majors for graduate study in computer
science; to prepare students with an education that balances the
theory and practical aspects of the discipline; and to provide instruction
in the basic uses of the computer for all students on campus who
have a need or interest in such applications.
