Design the technology that leads to better computing. The University of New Haven's computer science program is one of the best in the country for its research, program offerings, and multidisciplinary approach. While just about everyone knows how to use a computer, the computer scientist understands how the transfer of information from a computer to a human actually works. Possessing great powers in abstract thinking, they model and analyze computing problems and then design the practical solutions to them. STEM Designation: This program is STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math)-designated by the Department of Homeland Security. The program objectives are to inform, challenge, and train our diverse student body for a constantly changing world of technology. This program develops a solid body of knowledge and understanding of computer hardware, software, and theory, as defined by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) curriculum guidelines. Mission: The mission of this program is to inform, challenge, and train our diverse student body for a constantly changing world of technology. The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are as follows: To educate graduates who can: Perform as a professional in the discipline, Work effectively in a variety of contexts using various languages, systems and environments, Continue to independently learn and master new tools of the profession. Student Learning Outcomes: 1. Analyze a complex computing problem and 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. 6. Apply computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions. The program consists of a required core that exposes students to a wide range of computing and technology topics, including the study of databases, hardware, networks, programming, software design, and security. Advanced courses and the senior design project are selected from one of several areas: software development, web and database applications, mobile applications, cyber forensics, or cyber security. A total of 128 credits are required. Typical initial job titles include applications developer, software engineer, digital forensic examiner, cyber security analyst, or security engineer. Later titles might be system analyst, team leader, software consultant, or system administrator.
