1. Spring 2008 CSE 1105 Degrees offered by CSE department Degree requirements New regulations Advising

2. CSE Added emphasis on hardware, for example EE circuit theory Digital Logic Embedded systems Chemistry required CS SE Added emphasis on managing complex software systems, for example OO design Software engineering processes Software testing Software project management

3. Computer Science (CS) Software Applications – apply computing and technology to solve problems outside the computer field – for example, in medicine, manufacturing, videogames Artificial Intelligence and Robotics – develop computers and other machines and systems that simulate human learning and reasoning ability Operating Systems and Networks - develop the software that computers use to supervise themselves or to communicate with other computers Information Technology – develop and manage information systems that support a business or organization, including databases and other tools

4. Computer Science and Engineering (in addition to those for CS) Computer Design and Engineering – design new computer circuits, instruction sets and other electronic components to provide powerful and cost-effective computing Embedded Applications – design the unique software at the hardware level for applications ranging from cellphones to control systems onboard aircraft Autonomous vehicles – robotic vehicles independently controlled in environments ranging from undersea, ground, air, and space Supercomputing – hardware and software integration and implementation to increase raw computing power, primarily for scientific applications like weather simulation, security and encryption, image processing, etc.

5. Software Engineering (SE) Apply engineering discipline to design, scale up, test, manage, and maintain all of the kinds of systems described earlier
