Student Outcomes

Student outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These outcomes relate to the knowledge, skills, and behaviors students acquire as they progress through the program.

The Sam Houston State Computing Science Program will enable students to achieve, by the time of graduation:

1. Analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions.
2. Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline.
3. Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts.
4. Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles.
5. Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline.
6. Apply computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions.
