The pages included in this section contain information specifically intended for the use of any student pursuing a Computer Science or one of our Engineering Degrees. Much of this information is also helpful for students taking a general education course provided by the School of Engineering.
As college students, you are expected to be able to do research, think critically and follow detailed instructions. This means that you should review this information for answers BEFORE requesting additional assistance, especially the first few sections.
Please note: these resources are for current students and required a ship.edu login.
FAQs
This is the first-place students should look for answers.
