What the college says

Computer science students are not only interested in technology but are fascinated by the underlying fundamentals behind that technology. They ask questions like; what is it made up of? How does it work? Who made it? Why was it made? They wish to learn about the physical components and also the software which controls it allowing it to work as a whole. They would like to take things apart and see 'what's in the box' and also learn how to program code for themselves. They may also wish to explore other avenues such as the moral, cultural and ethical implications that this technology has globally.
