计算机科学是关于探索和创建针对复杂的实际问题的创新解决方案。对计算机科学专业人士的需求激增。作为计算机科学专业，学生将学习通过编码，存储，跟踪和转换信息来解决问题的分步计算方法。学生将学习计算机的理论，体系结构和应用程序–如何处理信息以及如何设计软件（计算机指令集）以执行特定功能。学生还将学习如何使软件和计算机自行学习和适应。计算机科学比编程要广泛得多。计算机科学专业提供两个专业：计算机科学和以人为中心的计算。
Computer science is about creating innovative solutions to complex, real-world problems. Students in this major study step-by-step computational methods for solving problems by encoding, storing, tracking and transforming information. Computer science is much broader than just programming. It is informed by the theory and architecture of computing devices, and the tools and practices used to design and implement software.<br><br>The department offers a wide range of specialized senior-level courses where students can explore in depth different areas of computer science including: big data, computer networks, distributed systems, artificial intelligence, machine learning, computational biology / bioinformatics, human-computer interaction, graphics, database systems, compilers, parallel programming, object oriented design, and advanced topics in algorithms and theory of computer science.<br><br>Learning Outcomes<br>Upon completing this program, students will be able to:<br><br>Understand how to use the principles of computing to design and develop software and computing systems.<br>Work effectively in teams to develop computational solutions to complex problems.<br>Communicate technical ideas effectively in writing and verbally.<br>Practice CS in an ethical and socially responsible manner, with an awareness of biases that can result from their indiscriminate use.<br>Confidently pursue graduate studies or professional employment in the field of computer science.
