CS Program 目标 and Student 结果

教育目标

Educational objectives describe the career and professional accomplishments that the program is preparing graduates to achieve.

The 密歇根州立大学丹佛 Computer Science program enables its graduates to become:

• Professionals capable of applying computer science and software engineering principles and practices
• 研究生 students in computer science and related fields
• Life-long learners capable of self-study, continuing education and ongoing professional development
• Ethical practitioners in computer science, software engineering and related fields
• Innovators able to respond to technological change and intellectual challenge

The objective of the minor is to produce graduates who have knowledge of programming techniques, upon which they build understanding in at least one other knowledge area from among those listed for the major.

The objective of the service courses is to teach specific programming languages, 操作系统, 环境, 以及其他特殊知识. 他们要为社区服务, other programs within the University, 主修和辅修, by teaching application-area-specific knowledge to students.

The overall objective of the Computer Science faculty is to successfully 实现 the Computer Science major. 为了做到这一点, the faculty have the objectives of successfully teaching a variety of courses, 使用现有技术, giving students hands-on experiences, renewing their professional skills and knowledge base, sharing activities and knowledge with other professionals, and regularly reviewing and updating curriculum based on professional organization guidelines and both student and advisory board input.

学生的结果

By the time of graduation, graduates of the program will have an ability to:

1. Analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions.
2. 设计, 实现, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline.
3. Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts.
4. Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles.
5. Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline.
6. 应用 computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions.

Each of these 结果 (1-6) are supported by specific knowledge & skills defined as “Performance Criteria” included in the official course syllabi. The performance criteria from the course syllabi are correlated with the 结果, 1-6 to ensure that each of these high-level Student 结果 is supported by course work.
