Based on the mission, we have defined the following Program Educational Objectives:
Students will be able to apply the principles of computer science, mathematics, and scientific investigation to solve real-world problems appropriate to the discipline.
Students will have lifelong learning skills, which will allow them to successfully adapt to evolving technologies throughout their professional careers.
Students are sufficiently prepared for employment and advanced studies, and will have significant experiences with complex software development for real-world problems.
Students will have sufficient teamwork, communication, and interpersonal skills to enable them to work with others effectively in their professional careers.
Students can function ethically and responsibly, and are conscious of ethical, social, global, legal, security and professional issues related to computing.
We have also defined the following Student Outcomes that prepare graduates to attain the above program educational objectives. More specifically, the program must enable students to attain, by the time of graduation:
An ability to apply knowledge of computing and mathematics appropriate to the discipline;
An ability to analyze a problem, and identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution;
An ability to design, implement and evaluate a realistic computer-based system, process, component, or program to meet desired needs;
An ability to function effectively on teams to accomplish a common goal;
An understanding of professional, ethical, legal, security, and social issues and responsibilities;
An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences;
An ability to analyze the local and global impact of computing on individuals, organizations and society;
Recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in, continuing professional development;
An ability to use current techniques, skills, and tools necessary for computing practices.
An ability to apply mathematical foundations, algorithmic principles, and computer science theory in the modeling and design of computer-based systems in a way that demonstrates comprehension of the tradeoffs involved in design choices;
An ability to apply design and development principles in the construction of software systems of varying complexity;
