COMPUTER ENGINEERING Science & Mathematics / 127 Historically, the discipline of computing draws its roots from two separate disciplines. • Electrical Engineering: the development of devices that depend on electricity and magnetism. • Mathematics: the study of the properties and interactions of idealized objects, such as numbers and symbols. Computing lies at the intersection of these two disciplines. It is the study of a particular class of electrical devices (i.e. computers) which can perform mathematical, logical operations (i.e. software). The computer engineering and computer science programs have a common core of classes. Students in both programs study programming, the design of digital systems, computer architecture, and operating systems, as well as a solid foundation in mathematics, science, and general education. The computer engineering program emphasizes the design and development of physical computer systems. In addition to a common engineering core, students in computer engineering study topics such as the analysis of electrical circuits, and electronics, with an emphasis on electrical and digital design. The computer science program emphasizes the design and development of software systems. Students in computer science study topics such as algorithms and data structures, compiler design, database systems, software engineering, networking, and the theory of computation. Both programs prepare students for work in the computer industry, though with emphasis on different areas. Students should select the program which fits their skills and interests best. Both programs offer minors, so students may take additional courses in these areas and have it designated on their transcript. PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES The Computer Science faculty have established, in support of the stated mission, the following educational objectives: • Computer Science graduates will have a broad, mathematically rigorous program in the fundamental areas of computer science that will allow them to continue their professional development and sustain a lifelong career in computer science either through graduate study or self-directed learning and development activities. • Computer Science graduates will have developed a sufficient depth of understanding in computer science, and the skills, confidence, professionalism and experience necessary for successful careers in computer science and related fields. • Students will be able to give oral presentations of technical work effectively to a broad audience. • The Computer Science faculty will provide its degree majors with an excellent educational experience through the incorporation of current pedagogical techniques, understanding of contemporary trends in technology and research, and hands-on laboratory experiences that enhance student educational experiences.
