Program Educational Objectives The Computer Science undergraduate Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) are: v. Graduates will work as computing professionals, conducting research and/or leading, designing, developing, or maintaining computer-related projects in various fields; v. Graduates are capable of demonstrating professionalism and a sense of societal and ethical responsibility in all their endeavors. v. Graduates continue enhancing their skills and embrace new computing technologies through self-learning activities and post-graduate training or education. CS DEPT - ABET COMMITTEE - NOV 2014

Student Outcomes The student outcomes of the CS program are consistent with the ABET/CAC student outcomes for Computer Science programs. The program enables students to achieve, by the time of graduation: (a) An ability to apply knowledge of computing and mathematics appropriate to computer science; (b) An ability to analyze a problem, and identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution; (c) An ability to design, implement and evaluate a computer-based system, process, component, or program to meet desired needs; (d) An ability to function effectively on teams to accomplish a common goal; (e) An understanding of professional, ethical, legal, security, and social issues and responsibilities; (f)An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences; CS DEPT - ABET COMMITTEE - NOV 2014

Student Outcomes (g) An ability to analyze the local and global impact of computing on individuals, organizations and society; (h) Recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in, continuing professional development; (i) An ability to use current techniques, skills, and tools necessary for computing practices. (j) An ability to apply mathematical foundations, algorithmic principles, and computer science theory in the modeling and design of computer-based systems in a way that demonstrates comprehension of the tradeoffs involved in design choices; (k) An ability to apply design and development principles in the construction of software systems of varying complexity. The curriculum has been designed to enable students to achieve these outcomes. CS DEPT - ABET COMMITTEE - NOV 2014

Enabled Student Characteristics v. All mandatory and elective courses target one or more student outcome. The course descriptions describe how every course supports a subset of the Student Outcomes. v. When several student outcomes are targeted in one course, they can be targeted at different percentages. In every course description, a mapping table between the course learning outcomes and the student outcomes is included. This mapping table contains also the percentage of coverage of every student outcome in the course. v. The percentage of coverage of a specific outcome in a course and the course’s credit hours will be considered when computing the contribution of this specific course in the achievement of the considered outcome at the program level.

Student Outcomes continuous assessment The assessment of student outcomes in each course is performed through v. Direct assessment: performed by evaluating students work to assess the attainment of Student outcomes in these courses. v. Indirect assessment: used as a supplementary assessment measure as it measures the students perception. It is done through the following surveys: o Course surveys (every semester) o Capstone project survey (every semester) o Exit survey (every semester) CS DEPT - ABET COMMITTEE - NOV 2014
