Computer Science and Engineering MS - Thesis Option

University of Arizona

The MS Computer Science and Engineering curriculum applies computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions. It includes substantial coverage of engineering principles applied to the design or large, networked, scalable computer systems. Competencies include algorithms and complexity, concepts of multiple programming languages, software development, real time, embedded, and IoT systems design and other broad based engineering principles.The program has a firm engineering foundation that encompasses discovery-based education utilizing an experiential learning approach. Students will complete projects in areas that emphasize computing theory, communication, teamwork, critical thinking, and engineering professionalism. The MS program's flexibility allows students to design their course of study/research from a diverse pool of courses and research opportunities in software, computer science and computer engineering domains such as web and mobile applications, embedded systems, cybersecurity, machine learning, Quantum computing, systems, and other interdisciplinary areas.
