Computer Science and Engineering, B.S. in C.S.E.

To fulfill the undergraduate elements of the departmental mission the Educational Objectives of the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering Program are that within 2 - 5 years of graduation our graduates will:

• be employed as computer science and engineering professionals beyond entry level positions or be making satisfactory progress in graduate programs;
• have peer-recognized expertise together with ability to articulate that expertise as computer science and engineering professionals;
• demonstrate strong analytic, design, and implementation skills required to formulate and solve computer science or computer engineering problems in a professional or research environment;
• demonstrate that they can function, communicate, collaborate and continue to learn effectively as ethically and socially responsible computer science and engineering professionals. Computer Science and Engineering is the science and engineering of solving problems with computers. It is a young discipline positioned at the crossroads of many fields in mathematics, science and engineering and binds theory, abstraction, and design of computing devices, programs, and systems that solve a variety of problems in just about all areas of human endeavor. Computer science and engineering encompasses the methodology, tools and techniques, and theory of how information is derived, stored, manipulated, and communicated. Because of its importance to our world, computer science and engineering is an extremely exciting field of study that continues to grow at a rapid pace.

Use the transfer agreement and the degree planner (available by clicking  at the top right of this page) to build your plan for graduation with your advisor. Course substitutions not identified on the transfer agreement require UNR advisor approval.

If a major-to-major transfer agreement is not available for your transfer institution, please check the General Core agreement if available. If neither is available, access established transfer course equivalencies to assist in your planning.

Admission requirements and procedures are available at http://www.unr.edu/admissions#requirements. Only students who are eligible to enroll in MATH 181 (as demonstrated through placement tests) may enter specific degree programs within the College of Engineering. Others may enter the undeclared engineering program. Undeclared engineering students must be admissible to a specific major program within four regular semesters (fall and spring). 

NOTE: Refer to the Core Curriculum chapter of this catalog for information regarding the “Core English and Math Completion Policy.”

Students in this major must meet all Silver Core Objectives (CO1 through CO14). Courses satisfying Core Objectives are designated (e.g., CO9) in General Catalog curricula and course descriptions.

Refer to the Core Curriculum chapter in this catalog.

Students must take courses that satisfy the following Core Objectives. Some or all of these Silver Core Objectives may be satisfied in the Major Requirements (Section IV).  Refer to the Core Curriculum chapter in this catalog.

The following recommended courses can also be used in the General Education Requirement:

The following courses count in the Major Requirement:

Courses marked with * must be completed with at least a “C” grade.

Select these units from 300 or 400-level courses that are not already required by the major. At least 15 units must be in the Computer Science and Engineering department. Six units can be chosen from courses offered toward a major degree in the College of Engineering or the College of Science, or in other departments with the approval of an adviser.

Use the Planner in MyNEVADA to build a custom graduation plan. Review and adjust the plan in each academic advisement session.

In addition to the general university requirements of at least a “C” (2.0) average for graduation, engineering students must earn at least a “C” in those courses designated with an asterisk (*) and must also maintain at least a “C” average in the Core Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and major requirements courses.
