B.S. Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

The Program Educational Objectives of our Bachelor of Science in Computer Science Program are to enable its graduates:

1. To have successful careers, constructed with sound ethical judgments and professional skills acquired in the program, while designing computing solutions and systems by applying principles of computing in areas such as software, hardware, network, data, and algorithmic design.
2.  To enjoy continued professional growth and advancement in the fast-evolving fields of computer science, built on the academic foundation and professional skills acquired in the program, to become a life-long learner staying abreast of emerging technologies, obtaining new skills, and developing proficiencies with new software, networking, and computing tools.
3. In addition to building a successful career, to also strive to be an impactful and contributing member of the global innovation ecosystem by applying the knowledge and skills of computer science, coupled with a well-rounded liberal education, to practice ethical, legal, and responsible computing, as acquired by the program, towards building a better and more inclusive world.

These objectives are consistent with the university mission and meet the needs of the program’s constituents: students, faculty, and industry. Industry participation in the review of the Program Educational Objectives is coordinated through annual meetings of the Computer Science Department’s Industrial Advisory Board. Feedback from students is obtained each semester through senior exit surveys. The faculty review the Program Educational Objectives each year at a faculty meeting. Faculty review the input and recommendations from students and the Industrial Advisory Board, and follow parliamentary procedures to vote on and make needed edits to the Program Educational Objectives.
