Computer Science

Students will learn on the leading edge of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution, developing skills to solve problems using algorithms, applied mathematics, and AI in a hands-on environment working on real problems with faculty who have industry experience.

MSOE computer science students will learn in AI, big data, and robotics labs in Diercks Hall while leveraging Rosie, MSOE’s GPU supercomputer to support large, real-world applied exercises. Students will also work on capstone projects with industry sponsors to further gain experience aligned with industry demands. MSOE’s computer science degree prepares students for careers in a wide variety of computing areas including: app development, data engineering, data science, software engineering, systems programming, cyber security, machine learning, and many more.
