CSE Department

Do you think working with robots would be fun?

Would you like to study the Internet and all kinds of other networking activities?

Would you like to learn how computer systems can “see”?

Want to see inside a virtual reality CAVE?

CSE Department

Do you know what happens when you press buttons on a microwave . . . or a Prius?

Do you think it would be fun to be part of the video game development revolution?

Do you think you could be the next person to develop the world’s fastest search algorithm?

CSE Department

Computer Scientists study ways to make computer systems and computing devices better, faster, and more effective for improving our society

Computer Engineers work on the software and the hardware related to anything that is computer controlled (which is pretty much everything these days)

CSE Job prospects

Computer Scientists consistently ranks at the top of highest starting salaries

One of the fastest growing occupations Nearly 3 out of 4 new science or engineering

jobs in the U.S. are going to be in computing Unemployment rate overall 9% Unemployment rate CSE 4.5%
