Program Educational Objectives (PEO)

  1. Graduates will be competent professionals, able to:
    1. Employ a pallet of multiple hardware platforms and software development environments, integrated with the appropriate theoretical constructs, to develop practical solutions to technological problems,
    2. Deploy those solutions, and
    3. Provide for their maintenance and administration.
  2. Graduates will be able to effectively integrate research methods, appropriate theory, mathematics, and computational technology to analyze and solve problems encountered in the development of technological solutions.
  3. Graduates will be able to assimilate new methodologies and advances in computer technology in an ever-evolving discipline.
  4. Graduates will be effective in the elicitation of requirements for a software specification, and the written and oral communication of results to technical and non-technical colleagues and clients.
  5. Graduates will be able to work independently and in collaboration with colleagues.
  6. Graduates will be able to integrate the ethical standards of the profession and their professional knowledge and skills to contribute to society.

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) or “Measurable Outcomes” for CS:

The student outcomes are listed below:
