Department of Computer Science

Department of Computer Science
Our undergraduate programs are designed to train computer scientists, information technologists, and software engineers for productive, life-long careers. Such education equips students with a sound knowledge of the foundations of computer science, and problem solving and system design skills necessary for designing and building robust, efficient, reliable, scalable, and flexible software systems. The department offers strong undergraduate programs leading to a B.S. in Computer Science and a B.S. in Software Engineering.

Iowa Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit

Iowa Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit
The Cooperative Research Units (CRU) Program provides federal agencies the opportunity to access fish and wildlife expertise available at 40 Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Units (Units) and cooperating faculty at host universities. Federal agencies issue intra and inter agency agreements to US Geological Survey (USGS) for specific projects and informational needs. The CRU Headquarters office and USGS Contracting then issue a Research Work Order to a Unit and its host university, to conduct the work specified for the agreed upon funding.

The Baum Lab

The Baum Lab
Research in the Baum lab focuses on the compatible interaction between cyst nematodes and their hosts with particular emphasis on the soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines) and the sugar beet cyst nematode (H. schachtii). To a smaller extent, some projects are dealing with the root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp. This group of so-called sedentary endoparasitic phytonematodes represents the most damaging group of plant-parasitic nematode and is responsible for billions of annual losses.

People in Ecosystems Watershed Integration (PEWI)

People in Ecosystems Watershed Integration (PEWI)
The People in Ecosystems/Watershed Integration (PEWI) tool is a simple web-based educational game designed to assist people in multidimensional land-use decision making. PEWI is an open-source project that can be utilized in classrooms and by land-managers or resource professionals to explore how different land cover types and configurations result in trade-offs in ecosystem services.
