A master's degree in computer science and engineering provides in-depth knowledge of theory and design of computing systems. The degree prepares students for advanced jobs in industry or for further study and research as part of a Ph.D. program.Students in the M.S. and Ph.D. programs in computer science and engineering gain experience with both hardware and software and learn how to blend technical expertise with creative problem-solving skills to push technological boundaries, create automated solutions to human problems and build better computing systems.<br><br>The redesigned curriculum combines technical understanding of computer design and operation with the creativity and methodological rigor necessary to develop technical solutions to societal problems.We're an active department with lots of opportunities for students to get involved and alumni to stay connected.
