2. S C 2 Department of Computer Science Founded in 1962 by Prof. Samuel D. ConteFounded in 1962 by Prof. Samuel D. Conte Ranked as one of the leading departments in the world in research and teachingRanked as one of the leading departments in the world in research and teaching 500 undergraduate students500 undergraduate students –150 freshmen –41 faculty members

3. S C 3 We Are One of The Best! Roots in Math and College of Science First degree granting CS Department in the world (1962) We have moved into the new Lawson Computer Science Building!

5. S C 5 RUMOR: All Computer Science jobs are going offshore … Outsourced to India, China, Philippines, etc.

6. S C 6 FACT:  Forrester Research, Inc. estimates that only 4% of all Information Technology (IT) jobs were outsourced in 2004. This will grow to only 9% by 2010.  The jobs that are being outsourced typically involve low level skills (data entry, data analysis) or repetitive tasks (writing yet another hospital records system).  Purdue University Computer Science graduates do neither low level nor repetitive tasks. They design innovative systems, create operating system security mechanisms, design new programming environments, create new wireless protocols, etc.
