USF 1998-99 Undergraduate Catalog - Pages 195 - 197 | 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'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, 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.
This program is under revision. Courses indicated with XXXX rather than course numbers will be submitted for approval during 1998-99. See your academic advisor for additional information.

*Approved General Education Requirements
Complete the A.A. degree at the community college. Some courses required for the major may also meet General Education Requirements thereby transferring maximum hours to the university. A minimum of 60 semester hours must be completed at the university. If a student wishes to transfer without an A.A. degree and have 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.
The following are transferable courses from the Community College that will be accepted in the Math/Science/Engineering areas:
This is a limited access program involving special admissions requirements. Please be aware of the immunization, foreign language, continuous enrollment policies of the university, and qualitative standards required.
