History
The University of Oregon Department of Computer and Information Science was founded in 1970. Deschutes Hall was built on the UO campus for the department in 1990. Construction of the building was funded primarily through a United States Department of Energy grant sponsored by Oregon governor Victor G. Atiyeh and United States senator Mark Hatfield.[3]
Degrees
The CIS Department grants a variety of B.S., B.A., M.S., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees.
Undergraduate
The department offers two undergraduate degree majors: Computer and Information Science (CIS) and Math and Computer Science (MACS). Both majors can be obtained with a B.S. or B.A. Minor programs are also offered. The CIS major has seven available tracks: Business Information Systems, Computational Science, Computer Networks, Computer Security, Database and Informatics, Software Development, and Foundations (freedom of choice in elective courses).[4]
Graduate
The department offers Master's and Doctoral degree programs. The Master's degree requires a thesis or project. The Doctoral degree requires a directed research project, oral comprehensive exam, and dissertation and defense.[5]
Research
The UO computer science department is home to a multitude of research laboratories.
- Advanced Integration and Mining Lab (AIM Lab)] conducts data integration and data mining research.
- Applied Computational Instrument for Scientific Synthesis (ACISS)] maintains a supercomputer for university research and uses it to conduct high performance computing studies.
- NETSEC: Network Security Research Lab] conducts research in network security.
- The Neuroinformatics Center (NIC)] researches the application of computer science and numerical computation to problems in neuroimaging.
- Oregon Network Research Group] researches applied areas of network systems.
- Wearable Computing Group focuses on the development and evaluation of wearable and mobile computing for facilitating and augmenting human collaboration.
Conferences
The department organizes and hosts two annual conferences: Security Day, which consists of talks and discussion on cybersecurity, and the Oregon Programming Languages Summer School, a two-week program on types, logic, semantics, and verification.[6][7]
Student groups
Association for Computing Machinery chapter
The university has an established student chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), an international learned society for computing. Members frequently gather to host workshops and outreach events, provide undergraduate tutoring, and promote open-source software.[8]
Web Dev Club
The Web Dev Club, founded in 2013, organizes workshops and industry-sponsored events on web development tools and methodologies such as Bootstrap, Django, and Ruby on Rails. These events are open to the general public.[9]
Women in Computer Science
Women in Computer Science (WICS) is a student-run organization that provides networking opportunities for people in the department who identify as female. WICS's primary objective is to increase enrollment of women in all computer science departments and fields.[10]
Alumni
- Kent Beck, B.S. (1983), M.S. (1987), software engineer, creator of the Extreme Programming and Test Driven Development software development methodologies, also named agile software development[11]
- Gurdeep Singh Pall, M.S. (1989), corporate vice president of Skype Technologies[12]
- Rebecca Wirfs-Brock, B.A., software engineer and consultant, founder of the information technology consulting firm Wirfs-Brock Associates, and inventor of Responsibility-Driven Design[13]
