Our classes are taught by a combination of permanent faculty members and a smaller number of adjunct faculty members from industry who provide student access to cutting-edge knowledge. All of our faculty members are available to students outside of the classroom. Our students have access to an amazing array of hardware, system software, and applications in our first-class computing facilities. We are rightfully proud of our degree programs.
The department currently has 21 tenured or tenure-track faculty members actively pursuing research in artificial intelligence, computer communication and networking, computer forensics, computer security, database and information systems, distributed and parallel computing, human computer interaction, multimedia computing, sensor networks, software engineering, and Web technology. We engage other academic units on campus and local industry in a variety of research collaborations.
