This program trains highly qualified professionals in Computer Science, with a strong foundation in applied mathematics, data modeling, programming languages, software development, software engineering, and knowledge management.

The Universidad de Cuenca is a public university whose mission is to educate researchers and professionals committed to a just, diverse, and sustainable society, ready to be agents of transformation.

To train highly qualified engineers in Computer Science, with a solid foundation in Applied Mathematics, Data Modeling, Programming Languages, Software Development, Software Engineering, and Knowledge Management; capable of proposing high-quality solutions and conducting research in their field of study, as well as contributing across different areas of knowledge within interdisciplinary teams with social, economic, environmental, and ethical responsibility.

At the end of their studies, Computer Science graduates are expected to achieve the following student outcomes, an ability to:

• SO1. Analyze a complex computing problem and apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions.
• SO2. Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline.
• SO3. Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts.
• SO4. Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles.
• SO5. Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline.
• SO6. Apply computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions.
