USF 1996-97 Undergraduate Catalog - Pages 115 - 117 | Course Descriptions |
Three undergraduate degree tracks are offered within Computer Science and Engineering. These tracks are Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Information Systems which leads to the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering, in Computer Science and in Information Systems respectively.
The Computer Engineering program emphasizes the design and utilization of computers and has a core of engineering and basic science courses like those of other engineering programs in the college. The Computer Science program focuses on languages, systems, and computation and application. The Information Systems Track emphasizes the understanding and development of software with an emphasis on business and end-user applications.
Graduates from these programs follow fruitful careers in either scientific or business application 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 potntial computer appliction 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, robotics, 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.
