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 Information Systems: Mission Statement and Program Educational Objectives
Faculty members, meeting in 2004 and 2005 established the following educational objectives and expected outcomes. We invite students to direct any comments to Dr. Hisham Al-Mubaid, the program chair.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Computer Information Systems program is to prepare students for technical, administration and management positions in the analysis, design, implementation, maintenance, support, operation and management of computer information systems.
Program Educational Objectives
The program educational objectives of the CIS program strike a balance between theory and practice of computer science and information systems. This balance satisfies both regional and national needs. Students graduating from the CIS program are equipped with not only sound technical knowledge and skills, but also understanding of the Information Systems (IS) environments.
Computer Information Systems graduates will be competent in core foundations of Information Systems, Computing and Mathematics.
Computer Information Systems graduates will understand the role of IS and be able to work effectively within Information Systems environments.
Computer Information Systems graduates will be able to apply techniques in broad Information Systems areas, including database, networking, systems administration, and Web application development.
Computer Information Systems graduates will be able to apply information systems knowledge and practices and systems analysis and design techniques for developing and managing Information Systems.
Computer Information Systems graduates will be able to communicate and collaborate effectively and professionally in teams and with persons in various information systems roles.
Computer Information Systems graduates will be aware of the need for life-long learning and will be conscious of ethical, social, global, legal, security-related and professional issues related to information systems.
The CIS program at the University of Houston-Clear Lake is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
