Seems like the university is deciding to focus on Electrical and Computer Engineering and deemphasize Computer Science.
Core competence and all that.
It even has an odd name like CISE (Computer and Information Science and Engineering).

- ja27 15y agoComputer Science programs have many different roots. I think the most common is for them to grow out of Electrical Engineering departments where they end up tightly coupled with Computer Engineering, lots of hardware emphasis, etc. But they can also grow out of departments like math or information / library science. Then they may end up fairly far from the engineering departments.

- uf_cise_alumnus 15y agoYeah that name is pretty odd. Oh wait, what's this thing I see at the National Science Foundation? http://www.nsf.gov/dir/index.jsp?org=CISE http://www.nsf.gov/dir/index.jsp?org=CISE
