Undergraduate Studies 
 

The CSE department offers two undergraduate programs: Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Bachelor of Science in Information Technology.

The program in computer science prepares students for professional practice in systems programming, software design and computer applications, or for graduate study in computer science. The program provides a solid foundation based on the organization, processing and display of information. The major in Computer Science is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) of ABET.

Computer Science Program Objectives

The objectives of the Computer Science program are to produce graduates who:

  • are able to design, implement, verify and test a computer software system;

  • can adapt and contribute to new technologies and methods and to use these in the practice of computer science;

  • are prepared to pursue successfully graduate study in computer science or related disciplines;

  • are proficient in written and oral communication;

  • can function successfully in the automotive and other global industries;

  • can serve in a variety of roles such as solving problems with technical and non-technical elements, serving as team members, and leading others; and

  • have high standards of professional and ethical responsibility.

The program in Information Technology (IT) prepares students for a professional career in IT. The program provides students with sufficient technical strength and a comprehensive understanding of information technology practice in context to act as problem solvers in various settings. The program places a great emphasis on hands-on experience and requires students to participate in industrial internships or industry-sponsored projects. Being a new program, the program is not yet accredited by ABET.

Information Technology Program Objectives

The objectives of the Information Technology program are to produce graduates who:

  • are able to design, implement, and manage IT solutions to meet an organization's goals;

  • can adapt and contribute to new technologies in support of IT infrastructure;

  • are prepared to pursue successfully graduate study in IT-related disciplines;

  • are proficient in written and oral communication;

  • can function successfully in the automotive and other global industries;

  • can serve in a variety of roles such as solving problems with technical and non-technical elements, serving as team members, and leading others; and
