8. 8 Some Quick Facts about CS Students Over 300 undergraduates Over 100 graduate students Student research opportunities Currently fund over 20 undergraduate & graduate students as tutors and researchers Variety of internship and coop opportunities Study-abroad opportunities ACM Student Chapter 10/10/2015

9. Types of Computing Fields Computer engineering : will typically involve software and hardware and the development of systems that involve both software, hardware, communicationsComputer engineering Computer science : currently the most popular of the computing disciplines, tends to be relatively broad and with an emphasis on the underlying science aspects.Computer science Information systems : essentially this is computing in a business contextInformation systems Information technology : computing in support, and will tend to involve a study of systems (perhaps just software systems, but perhaps also for instance systems in support of learning, of information dissemination, etc.)Information technology Software engineering : based on software and involves employing certain ideas from the world of engineering in building reliable software systemsSoftware engineering 10/10/20159
