History

The University has offered engineering degree coursework since 1956. Increased technology demands during the mid-80s, combined with a generous gift from Sprint, led to the development of UMKC's high-tech Computer Science and Telecommunications Program in 1984. These disciplines were combined in 2001 to form the School of Computing and Engineering (SCE).

Mission

The mission of the School of Computing and Engineering is to provide competitive educational opportunities and focused research in computing and engineering generating the technical work force and research needed for economic development.

Departments and Degree Programs

The School of Computing and Engineering has two departments:
  • Civil and Mechanical Engineering
  • Computer Science Electrical Engineering
Each department offers undergraduate and graduate degrees. The Civil and Mechanical Engineering Department offers B.S. in Civil Engineering, B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, M.S. in Civil Engineering, and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering. The Computer Science Electrical Engineering Department offers B.A./B.S. in Computer Science, B.S. in Electrical & Computer Engineering, Bachelor of Information Technology (B.I.T), M.S. in Computer Science, and M.S. in Electrical Engineering.

The School also participates in UMKC's Interdisciplinary Ph.D. program through four disciplines. Students interested in pursuing a doctoral degree in civil or mechanical engineering may select engineering as a discipline. The three other disciplines housed in SCE are computer science, electrical and computer engineering, and telecommunications and computer networking (See the School of Graduate Studies section of this catalog for details about the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program.)
