Master of Science in Computer Science (STEM)

at Global University Systems (GUS) - Florida Polytechnic University USA

The M.S. in Engineering program at Florida Poly attracts working professionals who seek an advanced engineering education. Rather than culminate in a research experience and a thesis, the Masters of Engineering curriculum prepares students with the necessary skills for advancing their careers in industries involved in emerging technologies, product development, and program management with specializations in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer engineering.

Computer Engineering
Computer Engineering combines the hardware background and aptitude of electrical engineering with the firmware and software writing skills of computer science. Computer engineers design and build embedded microcontrollers, VLSI chips, analog sensors, mixed signal circuit boards, and operating systems — and guide how these parts integrate into the larger picture.

The Department of Computer Engineering offers a comprehensive curriculum that favors a pragmatic, problem solving approach to both the body (hardware) and mind (software) components of computing.

Concentrations in Embedded System Design
Embedded systems are designed to handle a particular task within a larger mechanical or electrical system. These complex systems are everywhere—in hybrid vehicles, aircraft, medical devices, traffic lights, factories, automobiles, communication switching systems, biomedical instruments, industrial robots, household appliances, and video game consoles.

As a student in the B.S. in Business Analytics program, you will gain extensive skills in statistical analysis, data visualization and modeling (descriptive, predictive and prescriptive). That strong analytical and technical background is balanced by insights into how these models can be applied across functional business areas.

Concentrations in Intelligent Mobility
Intelligent Mobility uses data and technology to connect people, places, and goods across all transportation modes. Growth in intelligent mobility will transform the way people travel, interact with their environment, and connect goods and services.

Concentrations in Health Systems Engineering
The Health Systems Engineering (HSE) program prepares the architects of tomorrow’s healthcare system to take on its most urgent and complex challenges.
Healthcare represents 18% of the nation’s gross domestic product. As one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing industries, it is bursting with opportunities to create solutions to perplexing and unique problems that transcend medicine. Those with knowledge of technology, data, and multiple systems, as well as proven skills in hands-on problem solving, are in the perfect position to leverage their talents to transform the industry.

Health systems engineering involves a multidisciplinary approach that applies engineering and analytic principles to all aspects of healthcare. The implementation of engineering techniques combines concepts of advancement, process improvement, health informatics, cost reduction, and quality and safety.

The Florida Poly HSE program provides real-world experience with industry experts and a multidisciplinary faculty to prepare students for a career leading change in healthcare.

The B.S. in Engineering Physics attracts students who want to pursue careers that lead the advances in applied science, advanced technology, and engineering. Engineering physics requires a strong aptitude in science and mathematics.

Program Highlights
This program serves students who like to apply analytic knowledge to technical problems. Florida Poly’s Engineering Physics program will encourage you to develop lab and technical skills (computers, lasers, optics, electronics) so that you advance beyond learning physics and actually do physics.

Solving the World's Next Big Problems
The program prepares students to be knowledgeable in conceptual understanding of physics and its application in engineering and other technical environments. All Engineering Physics majors participate in an interdisciplinary capstone project under the guidance of a faculty member.

Concentrations in Autonomous and Electric Vehicles
This concentration covers emerging topics in both the autonomous system and the electric vehicle system. It requires two courses on autonomous vehicle systems and two courses on electric vehicle systems. The autonomous vehicle system covers the software and hardware architectures of the autonomous driving, vehicle dynamics system and modeling, different sensors used for autonomous driving and techniques for sensor fusion to define vehicle localization, and environment perception. An advanced course covers computer vision methods for detection, control and motion planning in autonomous vehicles, and connected vehicles concepts. The electric vehicle system covers the modeling and control of electric motors, and the hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), including architecture, sub-system design, and sizing, modeling, and energy management strategies. It also covers vehicle dynamics along with energy storage, and power electronics utilized in HEVs as well as the environmental and economic impacts and current limitations of HEVs.

The B.S. in Computer Science gives you the broad computational thinking, programming, and problem-solving skills you’ll need to succeed as a computing professional in a range of emerging careers and industries — from automated vehicles to biomedical devices and sensor-based technologies.
The Department of Computer Science offers a comprehensive curriculum that favors a pragmatic, problem-solving approach to computing. The program builds upon a mathematically rigorous foundation, while challenging you with physics, chemistry, and other sciences to round out your ability to frame problems and think analytically.

Concentrations in Big Data Analytics
Students in Big Data Analytics learn to collect, manage, and optimize large-scale structured and unstructured data sets to facilitate information and decision-making. Students in Big Data Analytics develop a strong foundation in essential programming skills, quantitative analysis, and hardware and software solutions for facilitating effective use of big data.

Robotics
The Robotics track within the Master of Science in Engineering is interdisciplinary and requires six credits for developing strong foundations in advanced engineering math, and scientific computation and programming. The selections of the remaining credits are focused on developing advanced knowledge in an industrial robotics team environment consisting of four disciplines. Depending on the student’s background and interest, a student can choose nine credits from a primary discipline in computer science, electrical engineering, computer engineering, or mechanical engineering as well as select up to nine credits from other disciplines. The track is flexible enough to develop both depth and breadth in robotics.
