COMPUTER AND INFORMATION SCIENCE (CIS) Mei-Huei Tang, Ph.D., Chairperson FACULTY: Professors: Mei-Huei Tang, Yunkai Liu. Associate Professors: Sheheeda M Manakkadu, Joshua C. Nwokeji. Assistant Professors: Richard Matovu, Tajmilur Rahman, Yudi Dong. Visiting Teaching Assistant Professors: Priyan Malarvizhi Kumar, Madhusudan Singh, Samuel Tweneboah-Koduah The mission of CIS Department is to help students apply problem identification and problemsolving strategies to the development of complex computer-based systems, follow legal and ethical computing principles to analyze computing solutions for ethical ramifications such as global, cultural social, environmental or economic concerns. As a diverse team, the department strives to facilitate students learning to function and communicate effectively as a collaborative member or leader in a professional context and to demonstrate an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge or technology as needed. The CIS Department maintains educational labs for teaching and project work, and servers using MAC OS X, WINDOWS and LINUX operating systems. The Mac lab offers the hardware and software environment needed for iOS app development. The general-purpose labs provide interactive environments for design and programming classes. The network lab offers handson exposure to the hardware and software layers of networks. The advanced systems lab hosts state-of-the-art creation, capture, editing, and synthesis hardware and software for multimedia productions and database functions. A project lab is maintained for faculty research, student work, and on-campus internship work. A wide-variety of programming environments and application software are available at Gannon University. Specifically within the Department and through its course offerings the following items are presented: Java, Javascript, C++, Swift, C#, and COBOL are core programming environments; UML, IBM Rational Rhapsody™, Visual Paradigm™ and VISIO™ as modeling environments, and ORACLE™, SQL Server™, Microsoft Access and other database as database management systems. Gannon University is a CompTIA Authorized Academy Partner and qualifies for several CompTIA incentives, tools, resources, and benefits.
