Research opportunities. Computer science students can choose to participate in Cal U's annual Strike a Spark Conference, where undergraduates are encouraged to present their research work via posters, oral sessions, creative displays and performances. Students can present research they've done by themselves or under the supervision of faculty members. Cal U's Center for Undergraduate Research also accepts proposals to support undergraduate research. With a faculty sponsor, students can submit a proposal with a maximum funding level of $2,000 for a semester.?Professional development. Computer science students finish the bachelor's degree program with a two-semester capstone sequence, Senior Project I and Senior Project II. They learn software engineering topics and produce requirements, specifications, design, a user manual, and a test plan for a project that they fully implement and present to computer science faculty and to the program's advisory board.
