学生的经验

Small class sizes, individual attention and faculty mentoring are at the core of BW's computer science program.

Experiential learning bridges classroom study with real-world 机会. You can enhance your studies through internships, 课外学习 activities and other learning 机会 that include:

INTERNSHIPS AND FIELD EXPERIENCES

BW's 20-minute proximity to Cleveland puts you within easy access to technology firms, 公司, government agencies and nonprofit 组织. Students often secure internships early in their academic careers, sometimes as soon as the summer following freshman year. Most students have multiple internships prior to graduation.

UX RESEARCH AND TESTING EXPERIENCES

BW's User Experience (UX) Research Lab provides experiences for computing students to learn about research and testing that is critical for the success of today's software 应用程序 and websites. Using various research methods including 观察, interviews, 点击流 analysis and 眼球追踪, UX researchers help uncover how users feel, think and use technology. Internal and external clients provide projects for BW's UX student researchers to evaluate.

INDEPENDENT STUDY

Independent study offers students enrichment 机会 beyond the classroom for 个性化的 and advanced study. Students work one-on-one with a faculty member.

RESEARCH

In addition to 课程式 research 的机会, students can get involved with ongoing research through the Faculty Student 协作 program.

Choose Ohio First STEM Scholars Program

The BW Choose Ohio First STEM Scholars Program is open to Ohio residents who are entering Baldwin Wallace in the fall as a first-year student or transfer student and are interested in software engineering. Students are eligible to apply to the program which also offers the Choose Ohio First 奖学金, awarding annual, renewable 奖学金 of up to $5,000.

STUDENT CLUBS & 组织

Personally and 专业 rewarding, student 组织 and activities foster skills in leadership and teamwork. 机会 include:

ACM Student Chapter

This is a chartered student chapter of ACM, the world's largest educational and scientific computing society. This computer club sponsors an annual High School Programming Competition each April at Baldwin Wallace, hosts speakers and organizes several social events, including LAN parties and more.

ACM-W Student Chapter

This is a chartered student chapter of ACM that focuses on diversity, equity and inclusion welcoming everyone to our profession. This computer club sponsors Java Hangouts and other events to create a comfortable and supportive computing community for all.

Programming Team

Student teams compete in several 校际 programming contests each year.

Cyber Defense Team

This 组织 is comprised of students interested in network issues. They meet regularly with a faculty member to discuss topics of interest and work on special projects related to computer networks. Members of this group compete in the Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition.

Student 成就

Software engineering students are regularly recognized for their 成就. The UPE National Computer Science Honorary is a national 组织 for juniors and seniors who have excelled in their computer studies.

At the annual Honors Ceremony in the spring, 认识 include:

• The Anthony and Patricia Lauria Scholarship in Computer Science and Information Systems (in honor of Dr. Anthony Lauria, a professor of mathematics and computer science 1984-2002, and Patricia Kirby Lauria '91).
• The Charles and Elsie Little Scholarship (honoring the parents of Dr. Richard Little, professor of mathematics 1975-2013).
• The Lubrizol Computing Award (funded by the Lubrizol Foundation).
• Outstanding Computing Student Award (in honor of Kenneth Weiss, Jr. who taught at BW 1972-2010).
• Outstanding Senior Awards, which recognize a student in each of the computing majors.
• The 沙利文/施密特 Prize for Computing (in honor of Chris Sullivan, who was an 管理员/兼职 faculty member, and his 祖父母).
