Computer Science Program Objectives and Outcomes

The educational objectives of the Computer Science Program are related to the mission of 精东AV and the Andrew F. Brimmer College of Business and Information Sciences. The objectives were developed in part by departmental faculty in consultation with alumni, the advisory board, and industry partners. The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) can be also found on the 精东AV website as it relates to the Mission of the Department of Computer Science.

Computer Science Program Educational Objectives

The Computer Science undergraduate program at TU prepares its graduates to achieve the following career and professional goals:

1. To apply their knowledge of computing, evolving technologies, and analytical thinking, in designing problem solutions to the issues encountered in their professional careers or in pursuit of advanced degrees.
2. To communicate effectively orally and in writing, interact professionally, and collaborate effectively on interdisciplinary teams to realize goals or objectives.
3. To maintain high ethical standards in leadership roles, as well as address concerns for the impact of computing on individuals, organizations, and the global society.
4. To continually broaden knowledge and skills as well as develop expertise in a computing and/or technology area.

Computer Science Student Outcomes

Student outcomes are statements that describe what students are expected to know and be able to perform by the time of graduation. These statements relate to the skills, knowledge, and behaviors that students acquire in their matriculation through the program. The goal/objective of the program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Computer Science is to provide students with a strong theoretical and practical background in the use of analytical thinking to design software solutions to real world problems. Computer science professional should also have the ability to evolve their knowledge and skills as new technologies are discovered and apply this knowledge with ethical consideration of the individual and collective impact. 听These same objectives are reflected in the ABET student outcomes, therefore; the Department of Computer Science has chosen to adopt the ABET student outcomes, which are listed as follows:

Graduates of the program will have an ability to:

1. Analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions.
2. Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program鈥檚 discipline.
3. Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts.
4. Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal, social, inclusive, diversity, and ethical principles.
5. Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program鈥檚 discipline.
6. 精东AV computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions. [CS]
