Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with Concentrations in Software Engineering (STEM)

at Global University Systems (GUS) - Florida Polytechnic University USA

The M.S. in Engineering program at Florida Poly attracts working professionals who seek an advanced engineering education. Rather than culminate in a research experience and a thesis, the Masters of Engineering curriculum prepares students with the necessary skills for advancing their careers in industries involved in emerging technologies, product development, and program management with specializations in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer engineering.

Computer Engineering
Computer Engineering combines the hardware background and aptitude of electrical engineering with the firmware and software writing skills of computer science. Computer engineers design and build embedded microcontrollers, VLSI chips, analog sensors, mixed signal circuit boards, and operating systems — and guide how these parts integrate into the larger picture.

The M.S. in Computer Science program attracts both recent college graduates and working professionals with clear aptitude in mathematics and logical reasoning. Students in the computer science major write a thesis. Students in the analytics track master commercial data analytic tools for visualization and analysis techniques.

Data Science
Completing the Data Science track will help you to identify and formulate key business challenges, collect and manage data from a variety of sources, select effective analytical techniques to identify solutions, and communicate results in a clear and creative way, harnessing the power of data in decision making. Data scientists are in high demand in a wide range of industries, including information technology, finance, healthcare, insurance, energy, transportation, manufacturing, telecommunications and more.

Completing the Computer Science track will prepare you to design and analyze algorithms to solve problems and study the performance of computer hardware and software. In addition, it will give you a strong foundation as you encounter a range of problems, such as determining what problems can be solved with computers and the complexity of the algorithms that solve them to designing applications that perform well on handheld devices, that are easy to use, and that uphold security measures.

As a student in the B.S. in Business Analytics program, you will gain extensive skills in statistical analysis, data visualization and modeling (descriptive, predictive and prescriptive). That strong analytical and technical background is balanced by insights into how these models can be applied across functional business areas.

Concentrations in Health Systems Engineering
The Health Systems Engineering (HSE) program prepares the architects of tomorrow’s healthcare system to take on its most urgent and complex challenges.
Healthcare represents 18% of the nation’s gross domestic product. As one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing industries, it is bursting with opportunities to create solutions to perplexing and unique problems that transcend medicine. Those with knowledge of technology, data, and multiple systems, as well as proven skills in hands-on problem solving, are in the perfect position to leverage their talents to transform the industry.

Health systems engineering involves a multidisciplinary approach that applies engineering and analytic principles to all aspects of healthcare. The implementation of engineering techniques combines concepts of advancement, process improvement, health informatics, cost reduction, and quality and safety.

The Florida Poly HSE program provides real-world experience with industry experts and a multidisciplinary faculty to prepare students for a career leading change in healthcare.

The B.S. in Computer Science gives you the broad computational thinking, programming, and problem-solving skills you’ll need to succeed as a computing professional in a range of emerging careers and industries — from automated vehicles to biomedical devices and sensor-based technologies.
The Department of Computer Science offers a comprehensive curriculum that favors a pragmatic, problem-solving approach to computing. The program builds upon a mathematically rigorous foundation, while challenging you with physics, chemistry, and other sciences to round out your ability to frame problems and think analytically.

Concentrations in Big Data Analytics
Students in Big Data Analytics learn to collect, manage, and optimize large-scale structured and unstructured data sets to facilitate information and decision-making. Students in Big Data Analytics develop a strong foundation in essential programming skills, quantitative analysis, and hardware and software solutions for facilitating effective use of big data.

Robotics
The Robotics track within the Master of Science in Engineering is interdisciplinary and requires six credits for developing strong foundations in advanced engineering math, and scientific computation and programming. The selections of the remaining credits are focused on developing advanced knowledge in an industrial robotics team environment consisting of four disciplines. Depending on the student’s background and interest, a student can choose nine credits from a primary discipline in computer science, electrical engineering, computer engineering, or mechanical engineering as well as select up to nine credits from other disciplines. The track is flexible enough to develop both depth and breadth in robotics.

The Department of Electrical Engineering offers a comprehensive curriculum that combines rigorous and balanced foundation in physics, mathematics, and computing; core courses in electronics, information systems, and digital systems; and higher-level skill in the analysis and design of systems. You will gain experience with a range of state-of-the-art devices and laboratory tools, progressing toward upper-level coursework and a yearlong senior capstone design project.

Concentrations in Control Systems
From designing multi-functional robots to prototyping a spacecraft, control systems engineers play a critical role in technological innovation with a systems engineering degree.
