火博体育计算机科学学院
At Skidmore, we teach the principles of computer science by deliberatively weaving 课程中的故事. For example, students’ progress from studying simple problem solving in CS 106, to analyzing how structuring data affects problem solving in CS 209, to designing efficient algorithms to solve problems in CS 305. 最后, in CS 306, students investigate the nature of computation, what it means to solve a problem, what problems can be solved efficiently, what to do when faced with problems that cannot be solved efficiently. We are intentional about making connections between each course in this sequence so that students are presented with a complete 计算解决问题的故事.
In the other course sequences, students see how software is built from the ground up, studying digital logic, the architecture of computer systems, operating systems, software design, the fundamentals of programming languages.
Our focus on the principles of computation and software systems provides Skidmore’s Computer Science graduates with the flexibility and perspective to respond to the rapidly changing landscape of computer science and thereby to develop successful and 有益的事业. For those students whose main interests lie in other fields, the Computer Science major or minor not only provides students with valuable practical skills but also with the ability to understand their major fields, indeed the 世界，通过计算透镜.
Students in Computer Science have the opportunity to work on a wide range of research 项目领域，如 人工智能, distributed systems, mobile devices, computer vision and data science.
