艾姆伯里利德尔航空学院

The curriculum for the Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science includes courses in software development, computer organization, database systems, and software engineering. The program provides a blend of theory and applications that prepare students for a variety of computer science and software engineering positions in scientific and business fields, and lays the foundation for graduate studies in computer science and software engineering. The Computer Science program allows students interested in this area of computing to complement their computing knowledge with one other application area chosen from the different areas of concentration.

The Program Educational Objectives of the Computer Science program as offered at the Daytona Beach Campus are that our graduates:

• Employ sound principles and practices to effectively design, implement and evaluate computer-based systems or components in their chosen areas of concentrated study, as they relate to aerospace, aviation and related fields.
• Demonstrate professionalism, including continued learning and professional activities.
• Contribute to society by behaving ethically and responsibly.
• Communicate effectively in oral, written and newly developing modes and media.
• Successfully assume a variety of roles in teams of diverse membership.

There are four Areas of Concentration (AOC) to choose from: Business Administration, Cybersecurity Engineering, Homeland Security, and Human Factors. The courses in the AOC allow students to broaden their general education or pursue specific interests. Upper-level courses involve students in team projects that emphasize industrial processes and practices.

Standard Track

The Computer Science degree may be attained without selecting an Area of Concentration. This option is designed to fulfill the requirements of a traditional computer science program while producing graduates who are able to succeed in a wide range of employment situations.

Business Administration Area of Concentration

The Computer Science degree with an Area of Concentration in Business Administration is designed to produce graduates who can operate at the intersection of business administration, management, computer science, and software engineering.

Cybersecurity Engineering Area of Concentration

The Computer Science degree with an Area of Concentration in Cybersecurity Engineering produces graduates who have solid knowledge of computer science and cybersecurity. The curriculum emphasizes securing and defending networks and communications through secure system design and implementation.

Homeland Security Area of Concentration

The Computer Science degree with an Area of Concentration in Homeland Security produces graduates who operate at the intersection of homeland security, computer and data network security, computer science, and software engineering.

Human Factors Area of Concentration

Human Factors is an interdisciplinary field that incorporates aspects of psychology, systems engineering, and computer science toward the improvement of the interface between operator and equipment. The intention is to improve designs to make them safer, more reliable, and easier to use for the system operator by understanding the capabilities and limitations of the operator.
