State of the Department 13 October 2008

Challenges facing URCS Broadening undergraduate education UR majors receive graduate-level instruction in core CS systems, theory, and AI All go on to successful industrial & academic careers But current CS program is not ideal for CS minors, or students interested in applications of computing to other disciplines Non-traditional areas of CS growing rapidly nationwide We have started broadening our course offering HCI, robotics, medical applications More diverse undergrad education can support growth of research

Challenges Facing URCS Growing graduate research Individual researchers in URCS are top-tier, but department is hampered by its small size relative to peers 15 faculty slots, versus average of 32 nationally On the good side: Small size of UR makes it easier to form interdisciplinary collaborations Center for Future Health, Brain & Cog Science, Linguistics, George Eastman House, … Interdepartmental collaboration can support growth of research

New Course: HCI, Fall 2008

New Course: Robotics, Fall 2008 Hans Koomen

New Course: Computational Photography, Fall 2007 Chris Pal

New Course: Medical Applications of AI, Spring 2008

Collaborative Research: Center for Future Health URCS: George Ferguson James Allen ECE Strong Medical Center

Collaborative Research: George Eastman House URCS: Chris Pal, Randal Nelson, Chris Brown Department of Art & Art History

CS Major Starting to Grow Decline in size of CS major graduating class bottoms out this academic year Rapid growth forecast for coming years 2007 24 2008 25 2009 18 2010 (estimate) 26 2011 (estimate) 36 2012 (stated interest) 57
