Learning Goals
Upon graduation, a student majoring in Computer Science will be able to:
- Understand and apply fundamental algorithms and data structures;
- Understand the abstractions supporting modern software systems, and how the construction of those mechanisms affects the supported systems;
- Apply mathematical techniques to justify computational solutions and explore the limitations of computers;
- Communicate computational ideas through speech, writing, diagrams, and programs;
- Work with a team to design and implement a substantial, integrative project;
- Propose and compare multiple solutions to computational challenges, with consideration for the context and impact of each solution on the creators, maintainers, and users of that solution.
