Proposed BS Degree
in Computer Science
and EngineeringDepartment of Computer Science and
Engineering
Brief History
Current Degrees:► BS in Computer Science, CS► BS in Computer and Information Engineering, CIE
ABET Accreditation:► CS is accredited by:
- the ABET Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC)► CIE is accredited by:
- the ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC)
Majors:► 60 CIE students► 177 CS students
Issues with Current State
Student issues:► Students have to choose CS or CIE► Ambiguity in CIE definition makes it difficult to choose
Employer issues:► Difficulty distinguishing CS and CIE► Prefer well-rounded graduates having strong foundations both in the science and engineering of computing
Departmental issues:► Two separate BS degrees drain resources► Unbalanced enrollment► Not well aligned with research strengths
Proposed Degree:BS in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE)
128 credit hours (no change)
Common core will satisfy ABET requirements► Both CAC and EAC accreditation
Four specialization areas:► Computer and Network Systems► Game and Simulations► Intelligent Systems► Software Systems
► Better scheduling of courses - higher availability
► Consistent, broad background for all students
► World class depth in specialization areas leveraging research strengths
► Graduates better prepared for wider range of career paths and for graduate school
► Stronger, more marketable degree
► Many other institutions have similar programs:- MIT, OSU, UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Irvine, University of Connecticut, Georgia Tech, ...

► A new course CS282:Simulation Physics replaces Chemistry► Removes internship as a requirement
The following courses are considered for the core (not in CS degree):► EE220: Circuits I► PHYS181L:Physics II Lab is replaced by EE220:Circuits I Lab► CPE400: Data Communications and Computer Networks
The following courses are considered for the core (not in CIE degree):► CS326: Programming Languages► CS456: Automata► CS477: Algorithms
Courses NOT considered for the core (currently in the CIE degree):► CPE406: Real-time Computer Systems► CPE401: Computer Network Systems
Envisioned Differences with Existing Degrees (Tentative)
► Do you agree that this new degree is in the best interest of current and future students and prospective employers?
► If you could transfer to the new degree program without any delays in graduation or loss of credits, would you do so?
Questions
► How is a specialization different from a minor?- A minor is aimed towards students of other departments.- A specialization is for CSE students
