Statisticians find the computer an indispensable tool in the analysis of large databases and visualization of results. These programs provide a solid foundation in mathematics, as well as the essential computer science knowledge and practice to prepare you for employment in the high tech workplace. Computational Biology Bioinformatics is concerned with the enormous quantities of biological data generated in the microbial, plant and animal genome projects, as well as in whole cell and organism gene expression studies using automated DNA-array technologies. Research on biodiversity, ecology, and evolution are increasingly making use of computational methods to analyze data about ecosystem structure, remote sensing, population statistics and phylogenetic studies. Computational Chemistry Computational Chemistry involves the modeling of chemical phenomena.
Much drug design is done via computer modeling before an attempt is made to synthesize a molecule.
Similarly, new polymers can be created on the computer. Engineering Communications Engineering Communications Engineering is concerned with the reliable, effective, and economical generation, distribution, and reception of information. Communications engineers are responsible for the planning, implementation, operation, and maintenance of communication and distributed information systems. They are active in the development of new generations of integrated voice, data and image telecommunication systems, and universal personal communications. The study of Computer Systems engineering focuses on the design, analysis, and implementation of engineering systems that have computers as components.
