The Computer Science Department is committed to developing the next generation of engineers by providing instruction through a technology-oriented curriculum, as well as the leadership skills, multidisciplinary knowledge and real-world experiences necessary to succeed in today’s complex world. At Lyle, students will enjoy small classes with a low student-to-faculty ratio. This level of accessibility allows students to develop lasting relationships with Lyle faculty, who bring their extensive teaching and research experience into the classroom and serve as mentors to students.
The educational objectives of undergraduate programs in the Department of Computer Science are to produce graduates who:
Many of the Computer Science graduate degree programs offer focused areas of specialization to address increasingly complex challenges, such as cybersecurity and software engineering. Courses are offered on-campus, with some also available online through Lyle’s Distance Education program.
Analyze a complex problem and apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions.
Design, implement and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in context of the program’s discipline.
Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles.
Apply Computer Science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions.
