New Trends Global development of computer software
through international cooperation and outsourcing
Increased emphasis on building both SW and HW from components and services developed globally
Critical need for making systems easy to use, on time and budget, and with adequate performance
These trends are permanent – we either leverage them or become victims of it
Our Strategy Improve our graduate programs and keep
strong undergraduate programs Cover new technologies and provide
students with a such knowledge, so they can get jobs
Increase research and external funding – involve students in research and industrial projects
Attract top quality faculty and students
New Academic Programs
New Program in Port St. Lucie and Davie BS in Information Engineering Technology
(BIET), begins in Fall 2005 Weekend MS Program in CS with Specialization in
Web and Internet Technology First generation will graduate in March 2005
