Computer Science
The Bachelor of Science Degree program in Computer Science is designed to provide the foundation necessary for computer science graduates to succeed in the computing profession as well as in graduate school.  

 

                                   Computer Science Program Objectives


Bachelor of Science in Computer Science - Scientific Concentration

The Scientific Concentration provides a comprehensive computer science foundation that prepares students to design and implement software to solve computing problems. It covers applied topics, but emphasizes theoretical understanding of computer science, including an ability to use advanced mathematics to solve scientific problems and to work closely with other scientists to devise new ways of using computers. This concentration is suitable for students interested in a career in software engineering, and is especially appropriate for students wishing to pursue a graduate degree in computer science, leading ultimately to a career in academic or industrial research.

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science - Information Systems Concentration

The Information Systems Concentration is intended for students who want to apply computer science in a management setting. Having grown out of a business perspective, this concentration focuses on managing information, projects, and other technical professionals. Although it still contains a significant core of theoretical and applied computer science, the curriculum also includes business and management courses to educate students in the organizational side of computer science, as well as fairly advanced mathematics, enabling students to manage scientific computing projects and personnel more effectively. Careers in this discipline typically bridge the technological and management communities of an organization. This concentration also prepares student for graduate work in Management Information Systems and related fields.

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science - Information Technology Concentration

The Information Technology Concentration prepares students with practical, hands-on expertise to solve everyday computing problems. This concentration is a new and rapidly growing discipline that began as a grassroots response to meet the needs of business, government, and other organizations, which require technology experts who can make an impact quickly upon arrival. The curriculum includes theoretical computer science topics and enough mathematics for graduates to successfully converse with other computing professionals. However, this concentration focuses much more on the the applications of computer science, and as such does not require as many higher mathematics courses as the other concentrations. As part of this applied focus, students in this concentration satisfy an application area component, a series of electives designed to enable a deeper study of one particular computing application. Careers in this concentration focus on developing, supporting, and administrating the computing technology that has become critical to all organizations.

 

Note: The Information Technology Concentration is newly available in the Fall 2007 semester.  Students who are currently in the Scientific or Information Systems concentrations may change their catalog if they wish to use the new Information Technology concentration, but doing so may require them to take additional courses, or may render some courses in their transcript useless for graduation, so such changes should be made with care and only after consulting with their advisor.

Engineering Technology

This four-year degree program will combine the application of scientific and engineering knowledge with engineering methods and technical skills to prepare the graduates for a variety of industrial and government workforce needs. 

 

The field of Engineering Technology is more mathematically and scientifically rigorous than Industrial Technology and is concerned with the practical application of engineering knowledge to support engineering activities. An Engineering Technology program differs from a classic Engineering program in that it is more applied and focused on applications of technology while an Engineering program is focused more on theoretical fundamentals that can lead to the development of new technology.

 

The objective of the Engineering Technology Program is to emphasize engineering technology fundamentals bolstered by practical experiences, and to prepare students for engineering and technology related professions, advanced education, and lifelong learning. The program will stress the application of sciences to the solution of technological problems, technical knowledge, problem solving skills, and implementation skills.

 

Initially five concentrations or specialized areas of study will be offered within this program: Industrial Engineering Technology, Computer Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology, Construction Engineering Technology, and Energy Engineering Technology.
