Computer Science + Engineering
+ MooreCo's Thrive Philosophy
How do computer science + engineering courses meet the developmental needs of
Career & Technical Education (CTE) students?
With a strong emphasis on mathematics and science, engineering and computer science students build analytic and quantitative skills and become adept at turning abstract concepts into tangible solutions as they see their ideas and code come to life. Due to the constantly evolving nature of these industries, students learn to adapt to new tools and technologies, fostering adaptability and a willingness to learn throughout life.
These subjects foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity, equipping students with essential tools for navigating the complex challenges facing our interconnected world and preparing students for a digital future. Students feel empowered and become more confident, adaptable, and resilient individuals.
