BS Computer Science
BS Computer Science
Computer science is the study of the theory, experimentation, and engineering that form the basis for the design and use of computers. It is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications and the systematic study of the feasibility, structure, expression, and mechanization of the methodical procedures (or algorithms) that underlie the acquisition, representation, processing, storage, communication of, and access to information [ref WordNet Princeton definition]. Computer Science is the application of a systematic, disciplined, and quantifiable approach to the design, development, operation, and maintenance of software systems. It is in fact the practice of designing and implementing large, reliable, efficient, and economical software by applying the principles and practices of engineering. The program aims to train students in all aspects of software life cycle from specification through analysis and design to testing, maintenance and evaluation of software product.
Program Mission
To produce graduates that are technically strong, theoretically and practically skilled, and capable of solving challenging problems with high morals.
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)
PEO 1: Able to understand and analyze core principles and practices of computing to solve problems.
PEO 2: Develop skills to design and implement practical solutions in the computer science domain.
PEO 3: Practice societal responsibilities and adhere to legal and ethical frameworks.
PEO 4: Continuous improvement to prepare students for jobs/higher studies in computer science and related fields.
Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)
The Department adopted all Graduate Attributes (GAs) for BS Computer Science Program defined in Seoul Accord as Program Learning Outcomes.
1. Academic Education: To prepare graduates as computing professionals
