BS Computer Science major in Computer Systems Engineering
The Computer System Engineering (CSE) program is a multidisciplinary program that combines a foundational computer science curriculum with selected computer engineering courses to create a curriculum that synergistically harnesses the power of digital computers with analog electronics, electromechanical systems and computer software.
The objective of the program is to prepare graduates that specialize in hardware and software integration in order to develop intelligent and application-specific computer systems that involve robotics, machine vision, speech recognition, and ubiquitous computing. Majoring track courses place emphasis on embedded systems, digital signal processing, and computer architecture.
Computer System Engineering graduates can pursue careers as microprocessor systems designers, embedded system engineers, test engineers, and system software developers. Possessing excellent hard and soft skills, CSE graduates are ready to be productive individuals in the IT and allied industries.
Program Educational Outcomes
In 3-5 years after graduation, BSCS-CSE students are expected to:
- Demonstrate professional computing competence through:
- the responsible and ethical practice in the advancement of computer science, and
- providing innovative services and solutions, aligned to ethical and Christian principles to the industry, academe, and/or the public sector
- Exhibit capability to manage, lead, interact, motivate, encourage, influence and collaborate with a broad range of people (in diverse and multi-cultural environments) to achieve goals and effect positive changes, recognizing the individuality and diversity of needs, ideas, opinions and cultures; preferably at mid-management levels
- Adapt to technological, organizational, and societal changes by engaging actively in computing professional activities, learning, and professional development opportunities
