  • Develop the ability to analyze, develop, and design code through knowledge and comprehension of information systems concepts and skills.
  • Develop the strategic and critical thinking skills through development of the ability to identify, gather, measure summarize, verify, analyze, design, develop and test programs and hardware design.
  • Develop the ability to identify and solve unstructured problems in unfamiliar setting and exercise judgment based on facts.
  • Develop communication through development of proficiency in oral/written/electronic communication skills and the development of the ability to explain programming concepts and code and related technical issues to others.
  • Develop leadership skill through the development of the ability to work collaboratively with a diverse team, including organization, control, and assessment of group-based work, and provide leadership when appropriate.
