Accreditation - Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering
Computer Science
The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) of ABET, https://www.abet.org.
Mission
The Computer Science Department mission is to provide our students with an educational experience in the science and engineering of software and data that will equip them to pursue satisfying careers locally and globally.
Program Educational Objectives
The Computer Science Program Educational Objectives are to produce graduates that after three to five years will have:
- Adapted, thrived and contributed in an industry setting or completed a graduate program;
- Contributed to the continual improvement and competitiveness of their workplace;
- Demonstrated an ongoing commitment to professional development.
Student Outcomes
At the time of graduation, all students will have demonstrated:
Computer Science (CAC):
(1) An ability to analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions.
(2) An ability to 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) An ability to communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts.
(4) An ability to recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles.
(5) An ability to function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline.
(6) An ability to apply computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions.
