I welcome you to the web presence of the Department of Computer and Information Science at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. 

Our department is one of four departments in the College of Engineering and Computer Science. Our 14 faculty members conduct research in the areas of CAD/CAM integration, computer graphics, geometric modeling, database systems, data integration, data mining, multimedia information systems, web services, digital government, distributed systems and middleware, mobile computing, peer-to-peer systems, vehicular networking, security and privacy, real-time systems, and software engineering. Our main research labs are the Database and Multimedia Systems Laboratory, the Vehicular Networking Systems Research Laboratory, the Virtual Engineering Laboratory, the Games and Multimedia Environments (G.A.M.E.) Laboratory, and the Agile Software Engineering Laboratory.

We have received sponsored research projects in these areas from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Michigan Life Science Corridor, Detroit Edison, Ford Motor Company, IBM, Motorola, among other government agencies and companies.

For undergraduates, we offer a B.S. in Computer and Information Science with a concentration in Computer Science (CISC) and a concentration in Information Systems (CISI), as well as a B.S. in Software Engineering. The CISC degree encourages students to choose among the following specialized tracks: engineering systems, game design, networking, and systems foundations.

For graduate students, we offer an M.S. in Computer and Information Science. In conjunction with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, we offer an M.S. in Software Engineering. We also offer an M.S. in Information Science and Technology in conjunction with the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering.

Many of our programs are unique in the Detroit Metro area, such as our undergraduate and graduate software engineering degrees, and our game design specialization within the undergraduate CISC degree. We are also developing an undergraduate digital forensics program.
