What is Computer Science/Engineering

Computer Science and Engineering is the discipline that study the uses of a computer on different levels.

  • Different Programming Languages

  • and much more difficult concepts

What you will encounter:

What is ACM@UCR?

 

By definition…

“ACM, the world’s largest educational and scientific computing society, delivers resources that advance computing as a science and a profession.”

 

Specifically…

We are UCR’s official ACM chapter. We aim to help students succeed with their studies and prepare them for their professional careers.

 

 

What will ACM do for me?

  • Supplement course material and supercharge your learning
  • Prepare you for exams
  • Build your professional network
  • Land you a job/internship
  • Expose you to real world programming
  • Provide a commonplace for you to meet new people and encourage collaboration
