Table 3.9 RWU Computer Science Program Educational Objectives Objectives – Three to Five Years After Graduation, We Expect Our Graduates To: 1. Apply disciplinary knowledge and skill to analyze, design, implement, and test solutions to applied problems individually and in diverse teams. Present solutions using the variety of media that best promotes understanding. 2. Continue to grow intellectually and professionally in the computing sciences and appreciate the continuous pursuit of knowledge in other areas of interest. 3. Use knowledge and draw on experiences relevant to current and emerging needs in computing sciences and recognize the social, ethical, and cultural impact of technology in a global setting 4. Serve as an exemplar and ambassador of the RWU Computer Science program, strengthening its tradition of excellence, by becoming active in professional societies and organizations and by volunteering within your community. These objectives are consistent with the goals of the University.

Computer Science Program Outcomes Computer science program outcomes correspond to the knowledge, skills and behavior that are we expect our graduates to possess at the time of their graduation. These outcomes are established and periodically updated based on constituency input. The outcomes for the computer science program are: a. demonstrated capabilities in abstraction, algorithm analysis, computer theory computer organization and programming language concepts b. an ability to draw from progressively more complex design-build-test experiences in solving new problems in individual and team settings c. an ability to apply quantitative math-science-engineering knowledge relevant to specific problems d. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in lifelong learning e. an understanding of the impact of CS technologies in applied settings (e.g. cultural, social, ethical) f. an appreciation of the complexities of designing and implementing a software solution that meets customer requirements g. an ability to use suitable writing and speaking skills as part of analyzing, designing, implementing, testing and fielding solutions These program outcomes are related to the educational objectives as presented in Table 3.11.
