Department of Computer science

Jump to: navigation, search

The scientific discipline that tries to understand the power of the computer as a physical and abstract artifact. The scope of computer science covers programming languages, operating systems, algorithms, high-performance computing, computational complexity and more.

In many schools, com sci is part of the engineering department. Some effort is underway in the computer engineering department to make a software engineering department, which would be a mix of com sci and com engr.

Said to be one of the least well-run science-related departments and is a source of frustration for engineering advisers trying to get students into com sci classes. Also said to be the department with the lowest percentage of students that shower on a daily/regular basis.

Former home of the infamous Owen Reynolds.
