Program Overview

Program Overview

The Computer Programming Certificate is a program that provides students with a foundation in computer programming. Our faculty are highly accessible, teach a broad range of topics, and have developed strong research programs that provide many opportunities to our students.

Faculty and Research

Teaching and research assistantships are available to some of our graduate applicants. Our faculty have developed strong research programs that provide many opportunities to our students.

Curriculum

Sample classroom work includes:

• CSCI 443: UI Design Portfolios
  • Pairs of students are tasked with designing, prototyping, and evaluating an interactive software prototype.
  • Particular focus is given to understanding and employing Universal Principles of Design and to the iterative process of User Centered Design.

Internship Opportunities

Our students practice the skills they are learning through internships throughout the year. Examples of internship experiences include:

• Autonomous Aerial Systems Office
  • Aspen Morgan - Research Intern
    • Used geographic information system (GIS) functions on Google Earth Engine (GEE) to preprocess remote sensing data and correlate it with PM2.5 ground station data.
    • Tuned and compared machine learning regression models for predicting PM2.5.
    • Built a web app on GEE to display daily predictions for Montana using the model with the lowest testing error.
