Welcome to School of Science and Computer Engineering
Annoucement: New Dual Degree Program (DDP)
In response to today’s global work environment Engineering Management (EMGT) program at the University of Houston-Clear Lake (UHCL) and Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) in Poland announced that they have agreed to launch a 1+1 Dual Degree Program (DDP) in the fall of 2013. Students may concurrently earn a Master of Science in Engineering Management in UHCL and earn a Master of Science in Management and Production Engineering in WUT. The Dual Degree program creates a win-win effect for both institutions. Students in both institutions have an opportunity to obtain two MS degrees with reduced time and cost, and UHCL will benefit from its increased diversity of the student population. For detailed information about this program, please visit Dual Degree Program Website.
The School of Science and Computer Engineering (SCE) offers high-quality academic programs within the vibrant atmosphere of a modern university. SCE prepares its graduates for careers in the natural sciences, mathematics, computing sciences, computer engineering, software and systems engineering. Our faculty adheres to a professional model that balances the vital components of our educational mission: teaching, research, and service. Our course of study supports a variety of disciplines including telecommunications, robotics, control systems, industrial modeling, mathematical and statistical modeling analysis, and petrochemical processes. As they work toward their academic goals, SCE students strengthen their abilities to solve problems, study independently, and think critically. They learn to adapt existing knowledge and apply it to new situations to benefit society. They also acquire professional values and ethics as they refine their skills in specific subject areas. SCE supports research and development. This commitment expands our knowledge base and presents new ways to apply established science. We encourage students and faculty to share scientific knowledge through publications and presentations. We also offer professional services to local, regional, national, and international communities.
The School of Science and Computer Engineering Has Three Divisions
The School of Science and Computer Engineering offers high quality academic degrees consistent with the role of a regional public university. Plans within the school prepare graduates to enter fields in natural sciences, mathematics, computing and computer engineering. Individuals in the school's plans are expected to develop skills in problem solving, independent study and critical thinking, and to be able to adapt knowledge to new situations and to the benefit of society. Students in these plans attain a sense of professional values and ethics as well as knowledge and skills relevant to their specific subject area. This sense of professional responsibility is essential if society is to benefit from the interfaces with advanced technology and science.
The school supports research and development directed toward producing new knowledge and identifying additional applications of existing knowledge. Dissemination of scientific knowledge through publications and presentations is encouraged, as well as professional service to local, regional, national and international communities.
The Division Chair of Computing and Mathematics coordinates the plans in Computer Information Systems, Computer Science, Information Technology and Mathematical Science. The undergraduate degree plans in Computer Science and Computer Information Systems are accredited by the Computer Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
The Division Chair of Engineering coordinates the plans in Computer Engineering, and Systems Engineering. Support areas include telecommunications, robotics, control systems, industrial modeling, mathematical modeling and petrochemical processes. The undergraduate degree plan in Computer Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
The Division Chair of Natural Sciences coordinates the plans in Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Environmental Science and Physics. Sub-plans or specialization areas include physiology/pre-health, cell/molecular, ecology/microbiology, biotechnology, environmental chemistry, environmental geology, environmental biology, industrial hygiene and safety and engineering physics. The Chemistry Program has complete accreditation from the American Chemical Society (ACS). The undergraduate Environmental Science-Industrial Hygiene and Safety plans are accredited by the Applied Science Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org
