In the realm of computer science, the program emphasizes a thorough comprehension of fundamental principles and advanced topics. Students are expected to apply their understanding by designing, implementing, and evaluating computer-based solutions to meet specific requirements. Communicating technical concepts effectively, both in writing and verbally, is a critical skill that is given utmost importance. Additionally, the program encourages students to develop critical thinking skills in computing practice while taking into account legal, ethical, and social implications. It’s also important for students to stay current with relevant computer science literature.
On the other hand, the Data Science specialization equips students with a strong foundation in data science theory and practical applications. This includes knowledge of data analysis methods, machine learning algorithms, and effective data visualization techniques. Moreover, students gain expertise in systems and software engineering necessary for processing large datasets efficiently.
Lastly, the Software Engineering specialization provides students with a comprehensive understanding of software engineering theory and practice throughout the software development life cycle. Collaborative skills are highly emphasized in this program so that students can work effectively in teams to set goals, plan tasks, meet deadlines, manage risks, and deliver results.
