Computer Science
Mission Statement
ACADEMIC YEAR 1999-2000
Vision Statement
To become and be recognized as the outstanding undergraduate program in applied
Computer Science in the western United States. Specifically, to be recognized by employers
as the best program to produce graduates who are quickly productive and produce software
and computer systems of the highest quality.
Mission Statement
To provide students with the best education that prepares them to engineer, design,
develop, support, and maintain technical software applications and integrated
computer-based systems. To instill in them a solid understanding of the principles of
Computer Science and the related skills that enable them to be productive in developing
software and networked computer systems of superior quality and robustness. To provide a
broad foundation that will allow them to continue to learn and progress in their careers
and education.
- Software engineering -- To give students a clear understanding
of computer programming paradigms and languages, a solid foundation in the principles of
developing robust, maintainable, efficient software, and the skills to effectively apply
that understanding in the various roles of medium to large software projects.
- Systems integration and networking -- To give students a good
understanding of the principles of integrated information systems and computer networking
and the skills to help design, implement, manage, and maintain such systems. Especially to
help them integrate local networks with databases and the Internet.
- Customized option -- To give students a mechanism for
integrating knowledge and experience in other domains with skills in applying the computer
in that domain. This option will allow students to customize a program of study in
Computer Science courses in support of applications (software or systems) in their
specialty areas. Such domains can include technical areas from science and engineering as
well as arts and humanities, education, and other professions. This option will require a
senior project.
