Computer Science

The Computer Science program is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Computer Science and Similarly Named Computing Programs.

Criterion 2: Program Educational Objectives (PEOs):

The Computer Science undergraduate program educational objectives are that our alumni/ae:

  • Practice and grow as computing professionals, conducting research and/or leading, designing, developing or maintaining projects in various technical areas of computer science.
  • Utilize knowledge and skills in Computer Science effectively for improving society.
  • Use new technical advancements of Computer Science to produce tangible contributions to the profession.

Criterion 3: Student Outcomes:

Graduates of the program will have an ability to:

  1. Analyze a complex computing problem and 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.

Program Criteria:

The curriculum requirements are in addition to the General Criteria curriculum requirements and specify topics, but do not prescribe specific courses.

These requirements are:

  1. Computer science: At least 40 semester credit hours (or equivalent) that must include:
    1. Substantial coverage of algorithms and complexity, computer science theory, concepts of programming languages, and software development.
    2. Substantial coverage of at least one general-purpose programming language.
    3. Exposure to computer architecture and organization, information management, networking and communication, operating systems, and parallel and distributed computing.
    4. The study of computing-based systems at varying levels of abstraction.
    5. A major project that requires integration and application of knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work.
  2. Mathematics and Statistics: At least 15 semester credit hours (or equivalent) that must include discrete mathematics, probability, and statistics and must have mathematical rigor at least equivalent to introductory calculus.
  3. Science: Coursework that develops and applies the scientific method in a non-computing area.
