History
The Department of Computer Science is the youngest department of the College. Its beginnings could be traced in the mid 1970s with the insititution of the Master of Engineering in Computer Science (Mengg CS) program. This was jointly administered by three departments: the Department of Engineering Sciences (ES) and the Department of Electrical Engineering (EE) of the College, and the Department of Mathematics, of the College of Science. Led by the Department of Engineering Sciences, the Mengg CS program continued in the early 1980s until it was replaced by the Bachelor in Computer Science (B CS) program.
In August 1980, the Department of Engineering Sciences became the Department of Engineering and Computer Sciences (ECS). In 1991, it was split into the Department of Engineering Sciences, and the Department of Computer Science (CS). The new Department of Computer Science continued to administer the B CS program, which was later renamed Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. In 1995, the Master of Science in Computer Science (MS CS) graduate program was approved.
