ÌýTheory of Computation
A study of programming in the abstract, leading to an understanding of the precise nature and limitations of computing machines. Topics include universal computing machines such as Turing machines, decidable and undecidable predicates, regular and pushdown automata, and regular and context-free grammars.
In it to win it
Represent Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ as you compete in competitions like the Berkeley and Princeton Hackathons or the Association for Machine Learning competition to win research funding as well as bragging rights. Find hackathon opportunities and more with our Technology and Data Science Career Community.
Code beyond the computer lab
Computer science students work with collaborative technology in classrooms, build hardware in Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ’s Makerspace, study game systems, and share research spaces with other programs.
The Chandler Senior Experience
As a computer science senior, you'll complete an independent project and present it to fellow seniors and your professors during the Computer Science Senior Seminar.Ìý
