Computer Science Department Web site: www.cs.iit.edu Computers have changed what we do and how we do it— in our homes, in our offices, and throughout our world. The discipline of computer science focuses upon the many challenging problems encountered in the development and use of computers and computer software. Areas of study in computer science range from theoretical analyses into the nature of computing and computing algorithms, through the development of advanced computing devices and computer networks, to the design and implementation of sophisticated software systems. The department offers two undergraduate programs in computer science: a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Bachelor of Science with specialization in Computer Information Systems. Both programs provide an excellent background in computer science and allow for ample study in other areas. Where these programs differ is in the approach they take to computer science. The B.S. in Computer Science provides an in-depth experience focusing on the theory and practice of computer science while the B.S. in Computer Information Systems provides a more interdisciplinary experience, balancing study in computer science with study in another field. In addition to these programs in computer science, the university offers a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering. This program focuses on both the digital electronics hardware used in computer systems and the software that controls this hardware, with an emphasis on the design and implementation of computer-controlled systems. This program is described in detail on page 88 Each graduate of the B.S. in Computer Science program should be able to: • Analyze, design, implement, and test a software solution to “real world” problems. • Write technical documents such as specifications, design, and users manuals in appropriate formats. • Orally present deliverables related to Computer Science. • Be prepared to enter a top-ranked graduate program in Computer Science. • Have a strong theoretical as well as practical background in Computer Science. • Have an appreciation of human behavior, culture, interaction, and organization through studies in the humanities and social sciences.

All three programs begin with a set of introductory courses that work together to provide students with a firm foundation in computer science. These introductory courses include weekly labs in which students use state-of-the-art software development techniques (object-oriented programming in C++ or Java, for instance) to create solutions to interesting problems. The department’s unique four-phase laboratory model encourages student creativity by providing ample opportunity for constructive feedback on each student’s efforts. Having completed the introductory core, a student is prepared to work independently within a well-structured design framework—in the classroom or on the job. The last two years of study build upon this foundation. The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science focuses on the concepts and techniques used in the design and development of advanced software systems. Students in this program explore the conceptual underpinnings of computer science—its fundamental algorithms, programming languages, operating systems, and software engineering techniques. In addition, students choose from a rich set of electives—including computer graphics, artificial intelligence, database systems, computer architecture, and computer networks, among others. As with the introductory sequence, these advanced courses stress “hands-on” learning by doing. A generous allotment of free electives allows students to combine study in computer science with study in another field—either by taking a well-defined specialized minor in another discipline or by working with an adviser to formulate a program that combines experiences across disciplines. The B.S. with specialization in Computer Information Systems program emphasizes the use of computers as sophisticated problem-solving tools. Students in this program pursue an interdisciplinary course of study that combines a solid foundation in computer science with a focus in another discipline. This program is designed for students who seek to blend their computer science abilities with skills specific to another domain to solve problems in that domain. Examples include computing with a business focus (e.g., management information systems) or computing with a natural science focus (e.g., computational physics).
