University of The Philippines College of Engineering - Academic Departments - Department of Computer Science

The Department of Computer Science (DCS) offers undergraduate and graduate programs leading to the degree of computer science. The department started way back in the 1970s when the now defunct Department of Engineering Sciences, Department of Electrical Engineering (both in the College of Engineering) and Department of Mathematics of the College of Science instituted the Master of Engineering in Computer Science (MEngg CS) program. The suspension of MEngg CS in the 1980s led to the creation of the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science program. In 1988, the Board of Regents approved the creation of the Department of Engineering and Computer Sciences (DECS). In 1991, however, DECS was split into the Department of Engineering Sciences and the Department of Computer Science.

The department offers the following programs:

  • Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BS CS) — 4-yr program that leads to the understanding of algorithms and data structures, programming languages, computer architecture, numerical and symbolic computations, operating systems, software development methodology and engineering, database and information retrieval and artificial intelligence.
  • Master of Science in Computer Science — several coursework that leads to the full understanding of operating, intelligent, database, information and application systems, and computer networks and distributed systems.

    “... the Department of Justice is committed to asking one central question of everything we do: What is the right thing to do? Now that can produce debate, and I want it to be spirited debate. I want the lawyers of America to be able to call me and tell me: Janet, have you lost your mind?”

    “I believe in women; and in their right to their own best possibilities in every department of life. I believe that the methods of dress practiced among women are a marked hindrance to the realization of these possibilities, and should be scorned or persuaded out of society.”
    —Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)

    “The computer takes up where psychoanalysis left off. It takes the ideas of a decentered self and makes it more concrete by modeling mind as a multiprocessing machine.”
    —Sherry Turkle (b. 1948)

    “Our civilization is shifting from science and technology to rhetoric and litigation.”
