Research

In addition to curriculum-based research opportunities, our students work with faculty mentors on CS research projects through Federal Research grants, Industry Research grants, WT Killgore Student Research grant, and WT Killgore Faculty Research Grant.

Some of the research areas include:

  • Software engineering
  • Formal specification languages
  • Cybersecurity
  • Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
  • STEM Education
  • Experimental analysis of the performance of various algorithms
  • Storage Systems
  • Data Mining
  • Data Science
  • Big Data
  • Caching
  • Prefetching
  • High Performance Computing
  • Optimization
  • Parallelization

Extracurricular Activities

Extracurricular activities enable CS students to collaboratively lead and participate in events but also represent the College of Engineering to the public through community events such as homecoming, recruiting, CoE week, and Engineering Camp.
Master the Mainframe

Master the Mainframe 

WT CS program annually competes in the North American Master the Mainframe Contest.
