Why Study Computer Science or<br />
S<strong>of</strong>tware Engineering?<br />
<strong>The</strong>se disciplines are an excellent choice for<br />
students who enjoy problem-solving <strong>and</strong> are<br />
good at mathematics <strong>and</strong> the sciences. Good<br />
communication skills are also a plus, as this<br />
type <strong>of</strong> work is typically done in small groups<br />
or as part <strong>of</strong> a team. Computers <strong>and</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />
have become essential tools in all disciplines, so<br />
you can pair the study <strong>of</strong> computer science or<br />
s<strong>of</strong>tware engineering with a major or minor in<br />
any other area <strong>of</strong> study, including the sciences,<br />
business, fine arts, or the humanities.<br />
Employment prospects in computer science<br />
<strong>and</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware engineering are excellent.<br />
Why Study Computer Science or<br />
S<strong>of</strong>tware Engineering at <strong>Butler</strong>?<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are several reasons we feel our<br />
programs are distinctive:<br />
• Our Engineering Projects in Community<br />
Service (EPICS) program combines<br />
service-learning with the practice <strong>of</strong><br />
s<strong>of</strong>tware engineering; student-run teams<br />
develop s<strong>of</strong>tware for charity <strong>and</strong> non-pr<strong>of</strong>it<br />
clients,<br />
• Our supercomputer is available for student<br />
research projects, with possible support<br />
available through the Honors Program<br />
<strong>and</strong> the <strong>Butler</strong> Summer Institute,<br />
• Our students learn parallel programming<br />
theory <strong>and</strong> techniques both in the<br />
freshman-level CS142 course <strong>and</strong> in the<br />
junior/senior level CS452 course,<br />
• Most <strong>of</strong> our students add a second major or<br />
minor program <strong>and</strong> still graduate on time,<br />
• Quality internships <strong>and</strong> part-time jobs are<br />
plentiful in the Indianapolis area,<br />
• And our alumni advisory board is active<br />
<strong>and</strong> engaged, not only mentoring our<br />
students <strong>and</strong> visiting for pizza lunches<br />
with our students, but also advising the<br />
department on curriculum <strong>and</strong> career<br />
preparation.<br />
Our s<strong>of</strong>tware engineering program prepares<br />
students for pr<strong>of</strong>essional careers as s<strong>of</strong>tware system<br />
designers, developers, testers, maintainers,<br />
<strong>and</strong> project managers. Our computer science<br />
program is more broad-based, <strong>and</strong> prepares<br />
students not only for a variety <strong>of</strong> careers in<br />
the computing disciplines, such as systems or<br />
database administration <strong>and</strong> web development,<br />
but also for graduate study either in computer
