This major aims to provide the best possible undergraduate education with a well-balanced emphasis on computer science theories, practical hands-on development skills as well as software engineering management know-how needed to manage or work as a member of a software development team. Through in-depth lectures and rigorous tutorials, laboratory work, projects and case studies, students will acquire a broad and thorough understanding of the theories and practical skills behind software design and development, software engineering, database systems, computer networks and information security. 

Upon successful completion of this major, students should be able to:

1. Apply relevant mathematics and engineering methods to computing.
2. Use computer programming for problem-solving.
3. Identify problems, analyze requirements, and formulate designs to meet realistic constraints such as cost, operational, social, cultural, ethical, environmental, health, and safety considerations.
4. Use software engineering methods and tools to develop and implement quality software solutions.
5. Communicate effectively and use language precisely.
6. Manage projects effectively and independently.
7. Reflect on the ethical, legal, security, and social responsibilities required of professional citizens in a global society.
8. Stay abreast of contemporary issues in computing.
9. Recognize the need for, and engage in, lifelong learning.
10. Collaborate and function effectively in teamwork situations, including multidisciplinary teams.
11. Function effectively in an industrial environment and apply learned skills to real-world problems.
12. Acquire an inquisitive attitude and skills to enable the creation of original discoveries or designs related to computing.
