Douglas Luman joins the Computer Science Department with a background in creative writing and composition.\u00a0 They earned a bachelor’s degree in theatre arts from Bradley University and their MFA is from George Mason University, where they were the Heritage Student Fellow for the 2017-2018 academic year.\u00a0 They taught in the University Writing Program at George Washington University from 2018-2019.<\/p>\n

Douglas’ work asks questions grounded in the humanities, considering questions of responsibility and intention, often summarized in the perennial lesson that because code can<\/em> do something doesn’t necessarily mean in should.\u00a0 <\/em>Their MFA thesis, “Prodigy House,” was a computational investigation of an early literary algorithm (“Travesty”), in addition to other computationally-based work in literature.\u00a0 They develop and maintain a platform for computationally-aided and constrained writing at https:\/\/appliedpoetics.org<\/a>\u00a0 Their first book, The F Text was released by Inside the Castle in 2017. They also operate and create book art with poet Jenni B. Baker as the production director of the small press Container.<\/p>\n

Computer Science<\/h3>\n

Professors Jumadinova (Chair), Bonham-Carter, Kapfhammer, Luman, Graber, Green, Zhao<\/p>\n

Computer Science is about computers and computation; the essence of the discipline is the study of algorithms\u2014the design, development and characterization of algorithms, their realization as computer programs, the analysis of the correctness and efficiency of algorithms, and the limitations of the algorithmic method as an approach to problem solving. The department\u2019s offerings include an introduction to the discipline including programming, data structures, and discrete mathematics; core courses in theoretical computer science, computer languages, computer organization, algorithm analysis, and software systems design; advanced courses in computer security, operating systems and distributed systems; and a variety of applications and electives. The human dimensions of computing\u2014social, professional, and ethical implications\u2014are treated throughout the department\u2019s courses. The Computer Science programs have an integral laboratory component\u2014nearly all of the courses include a weekly formal laboratory session to provide for practice and experimentation utilizing the principles learned in the classroom and from the course texts. The laboratory component affords the opportunity for hands-on experience with several computing and network systems. The Department has laboratories adjacent to faculty offices and classrooms in Alden Hall including an advanced-technology computer science classroom that facilitates active learning; a software development laboratory designed for group work on large software systems; and a laboratory for advanced coursework and research.<\/p>\n

The study of computer science leads to and requires the ability to analyze ideas, to think logically, and to communicate ideas clearly and concisely. In this way, study of computer science contributes to the foundation of an excellent liberal arts education.<\/p>\n

Note: Students who major in Computer Science may not double-major in Integrative Informatics. Students who minor in Computer Science may not major in Integrative Informatics.<\/p>\n

Computer Science Learning Outcomes<\/h2>\n

Students who successfully complete either a major or a minor in the discipline of computer science are expected to demonstrate the successful attainment of learning outcomes in each of the following categories:<\/p>\n
