Department of Computer Science - UW Oshkosh

Each November UW Oshkosh is a contest site for the North Central North American Regionals of the Annual ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest.

The department congratulates three of our majors -- Alejandro Carrasquilla, Tim Fendt, and Matt Meyers -- who traveled to Pennsylvania along with their fire-fighting robot to participate in a nation-wide robotics competition.   Watch a video or read an interview about the work Alejandro, Tim, and Matt did in this regard.

Are you a high school student thinking about Computer Science as a major and a career? Are you employed full-time and considering a career change?  If so, there are many good reasons for considering the Computer Science program at UW Oshkosh.

The department has just completed a project under a National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates grant.   This allowed us to host and provide stipends to eight students for each of three summers from 2009 through 2011.   They worked on a variety of research projects that explored the common theme of open source software development in online Computer Science learning environments.   You can read more about the project.
