Program Description
Students of computer science learn to solve problems from an algorithmic or computational point of view. Software systems, information technology and "big data" are deeply embedded in the fabric of our everyday life. Computer science has grown from a specialized field to an independent, broadly based area that studies all aspects of the use and understanding of software systems, information, and computational processes. In addition to numerical calculations, the field includes such topics as network analysis, graphics, modeling and simulation, parallel computation and artificial intelligence. CWC provides the successful student a background of coursework aimed at facilitating transfer to a four-year institution for completion of a baccalaureate degree program.
Upon successful completion of this program, the student should be able to:
- Transfer to the four-year institution of their choice to continue their studies in computer science.
- Demonstrate the ability to apply knowledge of computing and mathematics appropriate to the discipline.
- Demonstrate an ability to function effectively on teams to accomplish a common goal.
- Demonstrate the ability to communicate information effectively in both oral and written formats to diverse audiences.
- Demonstrate the ability to analyze a problem, and identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution.
- Demonstrate an understanding of the need for and an ability to engage in continuing professional development.
- Demonstrate an understanding of the ethical and societal dimensions of computer science and will put into practice the expectations for appropriate conduct both as a professional and as a member of society at large.
