Students can enhance their education through hands-on programs that connect learning with real-world experience. Opportunities include summer research with faculty, paid co-op placements at technology firms, industry speaker events, and immersive travel experiences with leading tech companies. Entrepreneurial competitions and high-energy makeathons and hackathons further encourage innovation, collaboration, and practical problem-solving across engineering and computer science disciplines.

Computer science students can get involved in a wide range of clubs and projects that combine technical skill-building, competition, and community. Opportunities include hackathons, esports, industry-focused workshops, collaborative projects, and honor societies that recognize academic excellence. Student organizations also promote networking, innovation, entrepreneurship, and inclusive learning environments, giving students multiple ways to apply classroom knowledge and connect with peers and industry leaders.

Explore the specialized labs that support hands-on learning and research in computer science. From big data, cloud computing, and cybersecurity to artificial intelligence, robotics, virtual reality, and graphics, these facilities give students access to advanced tools and real-world environments. Together, the labs prepare students for emerging technologies, industry careers, and cutting-edge academic research.

The Department of Computer Science runs an in-person Tutoring Center in Room 226 in the Science and Innovation Center. No appointment is necessary. Just stop by during tutoring hours with your textbook, laptop, and/or homework and ask your questions. The schedule is updated every semester and finalized after the second week of classes. For current tutoring hours, refer to the Canvas course Computer Science Tutoring.
