Min-Hyung Choi, Dianne M. Kumar, Ross McConnell, John Noll, Christopher Smith Undergraduate Computer Science and Engineering Program Computers, as a combination of software and hardware, have become significant to the whole of society. They affect the way in which business is conducted and the way people study and learn. The design, construction and utilization of many complex systems such as electronic funds transfer networks, air traffic control, and space flight monitoring and control would be impossible without computer support. A very important current trend is the use of computers to develop new avenues of human communication, interaction, and cooperation. Hardware miniaturization, communication networks, and the combination of text with audio and video are providing more people with fingertip access to a vast array of information and knowledge.
Computers affect the way problems are solved in almost all disciplines.
The computer scientist and engineer is a professional who must be prepared to apply his or her skills, knowledge, and creativity in a rapidly changing field. The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering at CU-Denver prepares students for such creative work. The emphasis is on fundamental concepts and basic principles with a long useful life. Area electives are generally chosen from within computer science, engineering, or mathematics. The student uses this part of the program to add depth to his or her knowledge of an area of special interest.
