从里海大学毕业的计算机科学家继续从事计算机编程，软件开发，系统管理，管理以及研发工作。他们解决了计算问题并设计，实现和改进了复杂的代码，从而将算法转变为可用的产品。他们的工作领域包括游戏，医学成像，机器人技术，数据库和信息系统，图像处理和网络安全。计算机科学与计算机工程之间的主要区别在于，计算机工程更多地侧重于硬件，而计算机科学则侧重于软件。Lehigh的计算机科学计划为学生提供有关数学，科学和计算机科学基础知识的严格培训，同时为他们适应迅速变化和不断发展的计算机科学和信息技术领域做好准备。通过课程学习和
Lehigh’s undergraduate major and minor in computer science in the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science provides students with rigorous training in mathematics, science and computer science fundamentals while preparing them for the rapidly changing and ever-evolving field of computer science and information technology. Students collaborate with professors on cutting-edge research projects in areas such as gaming intelligence, intelligent web search, medical imaging, robotics, database and information systems, image processing, and network security, through coursework and independent study.<br>The program promotes the essentials of the discipline—the fundamentals of discrete mathematics, structured programming, algorithms, computer architectures, operating systems and programming languages. Yet its flexible curriculum enables students to work with their advisors to tailor their educational experiences to individual interest areas that promote their individual path to professional development. The curriculum also includes courses that integrate computer science with other fields, such as biology, design and business.<br><br>
