Computer Science
Computer Science is concerned with the scientific, engineering, management and mathematical issues in developing and applying software technology in the modern information world. The Computer Science Department at Stevens is committed to being a world leader both in Education and Research.
Computer Science Research
The major research interests of the faculty in the department are:
- computer security: privacy-preserving data mining, wireless network security, cryptography, phishing, and language-based security including information flow control.
- computer vision, visualization, and graphics: 3D shape from images, differential geometry methods, organizing unorganized point clouds, dynamic scene analysis, shape analysis and indexing.
- software engineering: formal methods, trustworthy computing, sofware engineering education.
Faculty consult and collaborate with companies such as Microsoft, IBM, Google, Verizon, Lucent Technologies, Daimler-Chrysler, and top industry laboratories and academic departments throughout the world.
Computer Science Education
Careers in information technology are highly valued. Jobs for professional software developers are well paid and highly flexible, with a high degree of creativity. Professionals are particularly valued who combine a strong technical background with basic business skills. The Stevens Computer Science education programs are designed to educate the high-end IT professionals of the future.
The Second Stevens Workshop on Computer Science in High School will be held on May 15. The workshop will include presentations and panel discussions of pedagogical approaches to teaching Computer Science in K-12. This year's workshop includes a keynote talk on the Scratch system. Participation is free, but please register for planning purposes.
Stevens Institute of Technology is a National Security Agency (NSA) Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education for the academic years 2006 through 2009.
