Kenneth Walter Location: Technical Education Building, Room 110 Telephone: Mary Ellen Jones 626-7929 Professors: Robert L. Capener, Charles M. Crittenden, R. Kenneth Walter; Associate Professors: David G. Hart, Ronald D. Peterson, Neil R. Sorensen; Assistant Professors: Wm. E. Hoggan, David B. Wolford Description The program in Computer Science blends scientific and engineering principles. It contains actual, practical, applications-oriented experience as well as the intellectual study of computing. It is designed to provide a sound fundamental understanding of digital/processor logic and of digital computer organization as well as the interaction between hardware, software and the interconnection of system components. Also emphasized is software engineering which includes understanding of operating systems and other software systems design with implementation of the theory of computing, analysis of algorithms, simulation, compiler design, and knowledge-based systems. The Computer Science curriculum has a required common core and then is divided into three elected areas. Emphasis I is a system integration and hardware approach emphasizing system networking, drivers and internals. Emphasis II is a technical, scientific approach requiring engineering physics and a solid foundation in upper division mathematics. Emphasis III is a liberal education approach requiring a good mathematics background and a minor in another academic area. PROGRAM: COMPUTER SCIENCE MAJOR-BACHELOR DEGREE General Requirements: • WSU Core Requirements (see index) • General Education Requirements (see index) • 183 total hours are required, 60 of which must be upper division (courses numbered 300 or above) Commun HU102 (3) or HU105 (3) is recommended for the Humanities area. CS PD101 (4) (section designated for Computer Science majors) is recommended for the Personal Development area. An overall GPA of at least 2.70 is required in Computer Science courses. Grades of less than C in major and required support courses will not be accepted towards graduation. • A minor may or may not be required depending upon the choice of emphasis outlined below. • Completion or equivalent of Weber State Associate of Science degree in Computer Science. Specific Requirements: • Computer Science courses (11 credit hours) CS 355 (4), 371 (4), 375 (3). • Support Courses (7 hours) Math 213 (4), 361 (4) or 325 (3) or Math 341 (4). Completion of one Emphasis required: Emphasis I: • Students in this emphasis should take CS 312 as part of the Associate degree requirements. • Phsx NS261 (4), 262 (4), NS264 (1), 265 (1); CS 313 (4), 314 (4), 315 (4), 316 (4), 372 (4), 400 (4), 401 (4), 420 (4), 450 (4), 451 (4), 452 (4). Emphasis II: • Select two additional Math courses numbered 310 or above. (Courses satisfying Math Minor recommended.) • Phsx NS261 (4), 262 (4), NS264 (1), 265 (1). • Choose one of CS 311 (4) or 310 (4) or 312 (4), in addition to the CS 310 or 312 completed for the Associate degree. CS 311 is recommended strongly for graduate school candidates. • CS 425 (4), 420 (4), 475 (3), 499 (1), and either 480 (2) or 489 (2). Select 8 additional upper division hours in CS, other than CS 480 or CS 489. (Additional courses from Math, Science, or Engineering Technology may be substituted if approved by the Computer Science Department.) Emphasis III (Minor required): • Students in this emphasis should take CS 310 as part of the Associate degree requirements. • Choose one of CS 425 (4) or 420 (4). • CS 499 (1) and either CS 480 (2) or CS 489 (2). • Complete a minor in any academic area other than, or in addition to, Mathematics. • Select 16 additional upper division hours in Computer Science, other than CS 480 or CS 489.
