Computer Science Technology, Associate in Science Degree Program Outcomes

Upon successful completion of all program requirements, graduates will be able to:

1. Utilize algorithmic thinking for designing, developing, and documenting well-structured solutions.
2. Employ techniques (mathematical and tool-based) to analyze the performance (time, complexity, and efficiently) of various solutions.
3. Exhibit a working knowledge of key activities that occur at each phase of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
4. Produce tangible physical artifacts (work products) that address scoping a problem, designing and developing a solution, and ensuring (testing) the quality of that solution.
5. Perform and communicate effectively as a contributing individual and member of a software project team.
6. Demonstrate describing issues and expressing the merits of one’s designs, solutions, and implementation approaches.
