The Office of Academic Advising connects faculty with current, prospective, and former students in the School of Science and Computer Engineering. The Academic Advisors and staff strive to ease students' transition into upper-level coursework.
The SCE Newsletter is for faculty, staff, students, university friends and community members to help them feel connected with the School of Science and Computer Engineering. This newsletter will tell our success stories, inspire with feature stories about what people are doing at all levels across our school..
Computer Science - Master of Science Program Objectives
Computer Science: Master of Science Program Objectives
The graduate Computer Science program has the same set of objectives as the undergraduate program. It demands a greater depth and breadth of study, however.
Computer Science students will be able to apply problem solving, basic scientific methods, and mathematics in the design and analysis of software systems.
Computer Science students will be able to apply core computer science and computer engineering fundamentals in the design and analysis of software systems. This capability includes the specification, design, implementation, and testing of software systems that meet or exceed requirements, performance, cost, and quality criteria.
Computer Science students will be able to work in groups and to supervise the plan, design, implementation, and testing of real-world computer software projects, using current software tools.
Computer Science students will understand professional and ethical responsibility.
Computer Science students will be able to clearly convey technical material through both formal written papers and oral presentations.
Computer Science students will be able to engage in life-long learning achieved by participating in individual and group projects in which the students must discover the solution and develop the knowledge themselves. We are modifying these objectives to better distinguish them from those of the undergraduate program.
