Department Description

The Computer Science programs at Southern Tech are concerned with the science and practice of developing and using computer systems in industry and business.

Features of the B.S. program with major in Computer Science:

• full range of courses offered for both day and night students
• basic areas included are programming principles, data structures, computer architecture and assembly language, databases, programming language concepts, software engineering, operating systems, applications programming, and a major project course.
• students either choose a minor in another area of study or take additional courses in CS in areas such as computer networks, AI, real-time systems, OOP, computer graphics, etc.

Features of the M.S program in Software Engineering:

• Courses offered for the working professional (nights and weekends)
• Includes transition courses to give the necessary background to succeed even if you do not have a formal degree in software engineering or computing.
• Culminates in a major project component in which you will perform analysis, design, and implementation on a project of practical significance in software engineering.
• Core courses include research methods and presentations, advance database systems, software engineering I & II, software project management, formal methods in software engineering.
• Other courses include object oriented analysis and design, user interface design and implementation, computer graphics and multimedia, object oriented user interfaces with prototyping and usability engineering, and others.
