About Computer Science
Message from the Head
Hello, my name is K.M. George, and I am the head of the Department of Computer Science.
It is a great honor and privilege to welcome you to our department. Our department
strives to provide an inclusive and diverse environment that educates the future generation
of computing professionals. Our faculty is committed to provide a great educational
experience to our students and to conduct outstanding research. Whether you are a
future student who is looking for information, an alumni looking to see how the department
is doing, or a curious visitor, I encourage you to look through the pages. If you
have any question, you are welcome to contact me.
Mission
The Computer Science Department has a three-pronged mission:
To pursue and to publicize research projects in computer science in order to extend
the present state of knowledge in the computer field.
To educate students in all program levels in order to provide them with the knowledge,
interest, and ethics to become productive members of the computing profession.
To serve as an initial and continuing source of education in the field of computer
science.
Facilities
The Computer Science facilities' computing and presenting capacity is embodied in
a server room, iMac based Mobile Apps Laboratory, Seminar room, Conference room, Student
Collaboration room, and Server supported Department Lounge. Collectively these areas
provide across the board support for the activities of Students and Faculty. Coupling
the capacity with the research, the department is an actively growing department advancing
Computer Science.
50th Anniversary
On the weekend of September 20 & 21, 2019, current and past associates of the Department
of Computer Science gathered to celebrate the 50th birthday of the Department. Attendees
came from points far-and-wide, including Great Britain (Lennie Norris) and Alaska
(Rob Sherry), and from times spanning the present back to before the Department of
CS was formed.
