In keeping with the mission of the College of Engineering, the Computer Science & Engineering Department strives for excellence in teaching, research, and public service.
Specifically the Department aspires to:
The Computer Science & Engineering Department has established the following goals for graduates of our program:
Three undergraduate degree programs are offered within Computer Science and Engineering. These programs are Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Information Systems, which lead to the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering, in Computer Science and in Information Systems respectively.
The Computer Engineering program emphasizes the application of engineering principles to the design of computer hardware and software. While all department programs provide coverage of both computer hardware and software, this program allocates additional time to issues of computer architecture and hardware design. Students in this program also acquire a broad background in engineering science through the study of the engineering core.
The Computer Science program focuses on the theory of computation and computer organization. Additional course work in programming languages, algorithms, software engineering, and a wide range of electives supplement the core coverage of hardware and software.
The Information Systems program combines a basic coverage of hardware and software with a core of business related courses and additional course work in areas such as networks and database. The emphasis in this program is on the application of computing.
Graduates from these programs follow fruitful careers developing either scientific or business application’s of computers, as well as in the design of computer systems. They are often involved in the systems level definition of information processing complexes for both manufacturers of computers and for users. A wide and expanding variety of design and applications opportunities characterize this field. The rapid growth and continual change within this field makes it essential for students to acquire a broad foundation in applied mathematics and the physical sciences, and to develop communication skills and to become familiar with the domains of potential computer application in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Research and development opportunities as a computer scientist and engineer, often following graduate education, are present in the areas of computer architecture and VSLI design, artificial intelligence, software engineering, digital data communications, software testing, robotics, database, networks, user interface, fault-tolerant computing and testing, computer graphics, image processing and computer vision, and simulation.
The schedules which follow indicate how a serious, well prepared student who can devote full time to coursework can satisfy degree requirements in four academic years. Students without a solid foundation and those who cannot devote full time to academics should plan on a slower pace.
In addition to the College’s graduation requirements, the department has the following policies:
If a student wishes to transfer without an A.A. degree and has fewer than 60 semester hours of acceptable credit, the student must meet the university’s entering freshman requirements including ACT or SAT test scores, GPA, and course requirements.
Students should complete the following prerequisite courses listed below at the lower level prior to entering the University. If these courses are not taken at the community college, they must be completed before the degree is granted. Unless stated otherwise, a grade of “C” is the minimum acceptable grade.
Students qualify for direct entry to the department if they have completed the following courses at a Community College or University in the Florida State University System (SUS) and meet all other admissions requirements of the University and College.
Some courses required for the major may also meet General Education Requirements thereby transferring maximum hours to the university.
