Professional Computing Experience

Catalog description

The Professional Computing Experience course is an immersive, project-based, experiential course intended to draw on skills and knowledge gained in courses throughout the Master in Computer Science program. Students will be immersed in a semester-long open-ended computer science project that requires the selection and application of appropriate skills, tools and methodologies covered in the MCS program to address the problem at hand. In preparation for the project, students will read and analyze “grey literature” (i.e., professional magazines, technical reports, and working papers) on the current and evolving trends in computing fields. Students will appropriately communicate their findings and project results to multiple audiences. Prerequisite: Completion of the 12 hours of coursework in the Master in Computer Science.
