COMPUTER SCIENCE Chair: R. Kenneth Walter Location: Technical Education Building, Room 110 Telephone: 626-7929 Professors: Robert L. Capener, Charles M. Crittenden; Associate Professors: David G. Hart, Ronald D. Peterson, R. Kenneth Walter; Assistant Professors: 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 program is designed to provide fundamental training to prepare one for positions in schools, commerce, industry or government as scientific and systems programmers, or as systems integrators, or for graduate study. The program also provides the computer expertise which is so vital for scientific computing and the study of phenomena in many sciences. 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 HI is a liberal education approach requiring a good mathematics background and a minor in another academic area. Education The two-year Associate of Science/Arts degree in Computer Science prepares a student for entry into the computer work field and/or entry into the Computer Science bachelor program. The Bachelor of Science/Arts degree prepares a student to be a productive scientific programmer, systems programmer, systems analyst, systems integrator, or to continue to graduate school.
