Associate of Science in Computer Science (STEM)

Program Overview

The Computer Science Department provides students opportunities to study the computing environment for business and scientific solution automation. Students who enroll in the Associate in Science in Computer Science degree prepare for transfer education at a four-year university. An advanced degree such as a baccalaureate degree will prepare students for careers related to business and science programming solutions, and management. Computer Science Majors are introduced to computing history and evolution, software development, structures and procedures for data manipulation, object oriented methodology, symbolic logic tools for computational algorithms, and computing solutions at machine language level of implementation. Critical thinking and problem solving skills are acquired through individual and group project assignments. Students are encouraged to develop academic and programming skills enabling them to be successful in further study or employment. Students will be prepared to transfer in order to complete a baccalaureate degree in Computer Science.

Program Level Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:

  • Design software components and specification to satisfy small business and scientific problem requirements.
  • Design and implement algorithms that include basic computation techniques, simple I/O, conditional and iterative structures, and the definition of functions.
  • Utilize object oriented principles for class hierarchies and inheritance.
  • Implement programs at machine language level using fundamental high-level programming constructs.
  • Describe formal tool of symbolic logic as they relate to real-life situation, program correctness, database queries, and algorithms.
