Program Educational Objectives:

Three years after graduation, our typical alumni are expected to be computing professionals who:

• Use technical, communication, and teamwork skills to solve problems and develop software systems.
• Continue to develop their professional knowledge and skills.
• Behave ethically while contributing to their profession and to society.

Student Outcomes:

By the time of graduation, students will have demonstrated the ability to:

1. Analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions.

2. Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline. 

3. Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts. 

4. Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles.

5. Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline.
