Welcome
In the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, we are at the forefront in providing outstanding academic programs in computer science, software engineering, and computer engineering. As part of the Bagley College of Engineering, recognized for its excellence in engineering and the computing sciences, we strive to give our students the skills needed to discover solutions to tomorrow's problems. Careers in the computing sciences provide exciting opportunities from the development three-dimensional computer graphics in a very creative atmosphere to cutting-edge work with a cross-disciplinary focus such as digital biology. Our department can help the interested student in choosing from a variety of challenging and rewarding career options.
Our faculty and students work together in an environment that fosters teamwork and leadership. We provide state-of-the-art facilities in which our students learn and conduct research in such exciting application areas as computational biology, computer security, digital forensics, intelligent systems, parallel computing, and augmented reality. We invite you to contact us and to surf our site to learn more about our academic and research programs.
Now is an exciting time for people who study and work in the computing world. The demand for professionals in the computing disciplines continues to grow, now exceeding the number of opportunities available at the height of the "dot-com" boom. People working in the computing fields are impacting the world and influencing the future.
Please take the time to learn about our academic and research programs. Prospective students will find useful information about our university's cooperative education program (one of the nation's best), scholarships and fellowships, and admission procedures by clicking on the Prospective Students link. Contact information is available on our site for those of you who seek additional information. I hope that you may also have the opportunity to visit our beautiful campus to see what we have to offer.

The Bagley College of Engineering had its annual picnic and awards ceremony today. CSE faculty members won the awards for outstanding papers in both categories (instruction and research):
Dr. Ed Swan won the Outstanding Research Paper Award for:
J. Edward Swan II, Adam Jones, Eric Kolstad, Mark Livingston, and Harvey Smallman, "Egocentric Depth Judgments in Optical, See-Through Augmented Reality," IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, Vol. 13, No. 3, May/June 2007.
Dr. Jeff Carver, Ms. Lisa Henderson, Dr. Julia Hodges, and Dr. Donna Reese won the Outstanding Instructional Paper Award for:
Jeffrey Carver, Lisa Henderson, Lulu He, Julia Hodges, and Donna Reese, "Increased Retention of Early Computer Science and Software Engineering Students using Pair Programming," Proceedings of the 20th Conference on Software Engineering Education & Training, Dublin, Ireland, July 2007.
Special congratulations go to Dr. Donna Reese, Professor of Computer Science & Engineering and Associate Dean for Academics and Administration, for winning the Career Achievement Award.
Two of the co-authors on these papers are our own Ph.D. students. Adam Jones is working under the direction of Dr. Swan, and Lulu He is working under the direction of Dr. Carver. As is always the case, faculty members can do much better work when they have highly capable students to work with.
The other co-authors of Dr. Swan's paper are his research collaborators.
May 1, 2008:
The following paper has been accepted to the International Conference in Software Engineering and Measurement (ESEM'08)to be held October 9-10 in Germany:
Gursimran S. Walia and Jeffrey C. Carver, "Evaluation of Capture-Recapture Models for Estimating Abundance of Naturally- Occurring Defects"
Gursimran is a Ph.D. student in computer science studying under the direction of Dr. Carver.

Some of our own faculty and graduate students were recognized at the Graduate Student Association (GSA) awards banquet last night:
1st place poster at the GSA Symposium in Physical Sciences was awarded to Surya Saha:
Saha S, Bridges S, Magbanua Z, Peterson DG (2008) Data mining of spatial relationships among dispersed repetitive regions. 6th Annual Graduate Student Association Research Symposium, Mississippi State University, MS.
3rd place oral presentation at the GSA Symposium in Physical Sciences was awarded to Chamali Thanthiriwatte. The title of her talk was:
An Empirical Comparison of Annotation Tools in Agricultural Species
Her collaborators on the project were Prashanti Manda (CSE Ph.D. student) and Bart van der Burg (Vet Med Ph.D. student).
One of our M.S. students, Amitanshu Thakur, was awarded the top M.S. RA award. He works for the GeoResources Insitute on campus
