CURRICULUM
FACULTY
All of our continuing faculty members hold
doctorates from such respected universities as Alabama
(Birmingham), Case Western Reserve, Louisiana
State, Maryland (Baltimore County), Massachusetts,
Michigan State, Southern Mississippi, State University
of New York (Buffalo) and such internationally
renowned universities as Calcutta (India), and Bejing
University of Aeronautics and Physics (China). The
ability to attract excellent professors from such diverse
backgrounds illustrates the national and international
respect our department has earned.
Our faculty members are active researchers. Their
research specialties include: artificial intelligence,
computer graphics, database systems, distributed and
parallel processing, computer networks, computer
security, wireless sensors, soft computing, faulttolerant computing, visualization, object-oriented
programming, logic programming, bioinformatics,
and multi-agent systems. The results of their research
are published in both journals and conference
proceedings. Faculty members also present results
of their research at national and international
conferences in their fields of specialization. Faculty
research is integrated into the curriculum, keeping
students abreast of the latest developments in the field.
Teaching continues to be the central mission of
our department, and all courses are taught by full-time
faculty members. We work to maintain and improve
the strength of our courses and to offer students the
best possible instruction. Two members of the faculty
have received college-wide awards for outstanding
teaching. Graduate students are used primarily as
teaching assistants in support of the full-time faculty,
helping with laboratory sessions, grading, tutoring
and consulting.
