Cherishing the ideals of
the liberal arts, the Department of Computer
Science, Mathematics and Science aims for a
contextualized and active learning approach. The
department emphasizes interdisciplinary
education and research, and maintains close ties
with other departments within the University as
well as with research centers, universities, and
industry in Europe and all over the world. The
Department of Computer Science, Mathematics and
Science aspires to enhance the general education
of AUP students by providing them with skills
for quantitative and abstract reasoning,
comprehension, analysis, and integration of
knowledge, and to formulate and efficiently
solve problems. We aim at making our students
successful lifelong learners independently of
their field of study.
The department offers a
Major in Information and Communication
Technology (ICT), and our mission is to prepare
students who are capable of applying
computational and quantitative methodologies to
a wide variety of subject areas, who can
communicate their knowledge efficiently, and who
can work and study in interdisciplinary teams.
We aim to enable students to understand the
theoretical underpinnings of the field of
computing and software development, and to
prepare them to work and continue to learn in a
field in which radical change is the normal
condition.
Student Learning Outcomes
 Students
will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of
essential facts, concepts, principles, and
theories relating to computer science and
software applications.
Students will be able to use such knowledge and
understanding in the modeling and design of
computer-based systems in a way that
demonstrates comprehension of the trade off
involved in design
choices.
Students will be able to deploy appropriate
theory, practices, and tools for the
specification, design, implementation, and
evaluation of computer-based systems.
Students will know how to apply the principles
of effective information management, information
organization, and information-retrieval skills
to information of various kinds, including text,
images, sound, and video.
Students
will be able to apply the principles of
human-computer
interaction to the evaluation and construction
of a wide range of materials including user
interfaces, web pages, and multimedia systems.
Students will know how to deploy effectively the
tools used for the construction and
documentation of software, with particular
emphasis on understanding the whole process
involved in using computers to solve practical
problems.
Students will learn to make succinct
presentations to a range of audiences about
technical problems and their solutions.
Students will learn to manage one’s own learning
and development, including time management and
organizational skills and continue their own
professional development.

Susan
Cure was co-author of the following
article which appeared as the cover story
of the 50th anniversary edition of the
Journal of Molecular Biology:
“Tracing ancestors and relatives of
Escherichia coli B, and the derivation of
B strains REL606 and BL21(DE3)” in 2009
Dec 11:394(4):634-43. Epub 2009 Sep 15 by
Daegelen, P., Studier, F.W., Lenski, R.E.,
Cure, S., and Kim, J.F. Escherichia coli
B is a specific strain of a common
intestinal bacterium which was used in
seminal experiments which were very
important in the development of molecular
biology. The authors were able to trace it
back to its source in the first decades of
the 20th century (in the laboratory of
Felix d'Herelle at the Pasteur Institute
in 1918). |

An
article co-authored by Susan
Cure has been published in the
Journal of Investigative
Dermatology in July:
Mégarbané, H., Florence, J.,
Oliver Sass, J., Schwonbeck,
S., Foglio, M., de Cid, R.,
Cure, S., Saker, S., Mégarbané,
A., Fischer, J.: "An
autosomal-recessive form of
cutis laxa is due to
homozygous elastin mutations,
and the phenotype may be
modified by a heterozygous
fibulin 5 polymorphism"
[Invest Dermatol. 2009
Jul;129(7):1650-5. Epub 2009
Feb 5]. Cutis laxa is a skin
disease characterized by a
premature aging appearance;
adolescents look like they are
in their 70s. It is not as
severe as progeria. Professor
Cure attended the 8ième
Congrès Annuel de la Société
Francophone de Thérapie
