I INTRODUCTION

I.1 Charge to Review Committee As part of the periodic Academic Program Review at Texas A&M University, Dr. Karen Butler- Purry, Dean of Graduate Studies, requests that the review team examine the graduate programs within the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). The review team is requested to examine the graduate program, and the teaching and research programs for graduate students in CSE using the materials provided in this self-study, information you gain through personal interactions while visiting Texas A&M University, and any additional information that you might request. While evaluating the program, please consider the allocation of resources within the department (both human and fiscal) and the absolute level of support the department receives from the university. Please comment as appropriate on current and potential leveraging of these resources, as well as the current and potential interaction with other departments and groups, both on campus and off. The review team is asked to please address the issue of learning-based outcomes: - Does the department have ongoing and integrated planning and evaluation processes that assess its programs and services that result in continuing improvement, and that demonstrate that the department is effectively accomplishing its mission? - Has the department identified expected outcomes for its educational programs? - Does the department have evidence of improvement based upon analysis of results? Last, please address the department’s contributions to two guiding strategic initiatives developed by Texas A&M University. The first of these is a document developed in 1999, entitled Vision 2020: Creating a Culture of Excellence, and identifies twelve specific areas of focus for Texas A&M’s future. The other is the more recent Action 2015, intended to build on our gains made since the inception of Vision 2020. This type of external review offers an excellent opportunity to identify ways to maintain the current high standards of the programs and to learn from review team members’ experiences with similar programs. Thank you in advance for playing such an important role in this process.

II BRIEF HISTORY

II.1 Founding of Department The degree programs of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering date back to the presentation of the first master’s degree in 1964 when Computer Science was an established division of the Department of Industrial Engineering. A few years later the Ph.D. program in computer science was added. The first Ph.D. degree in computer science was awarded by the division in 1970. The Department of Computer Science, with master’s and Ph.D. degrees in computer science, became a reality in fall 1983. The Ph.D. program in computer engineering was established in the department in 1998, and the first Ph.D. degree in computer engineering was awarded in 1999. In 2008, the department’s name was officially changed to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering to accurately reflect its mission. The department has engaged in sustained growth to 36 senior faculty members, offering a full range of graduate programs in both computer science and computer engineering. Computer engineering is now a joint program with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Currently, we have approximately 780 undergraduate students and 320 graduate students. We are one of the larger computer science departments in the nation in terms of enrollment. Table 1 shows the department’s leadership since its inception. Table 1.

Many of our labs and centers have played active roles in establishing the research reputations of the associated faculty and graduate students through long time contributions in the corresponding research areas. Descriptions of the labs are given below: Brain Networks Laboratory Directed by: Yoonsuck Choe 322B HRBB, 979/845-5466, [email protected] Studying the geometry and connectivity of the brain's architecture is a natural way to explore neural computation, but there are no quantitative, 3D reconstructions of mammalian brain architectures for any species. Ongoing projects in the Brain Networks Laboratory will fill this void and reconstruct an entire mouse cortical network, allowing for global analysis and simulation studies of an actual cortical network. The lab's enabling technology is a unique Brain Tissue Scanner (BTS) of our own invention that achieves the data acquisition rates necessary to make possible for the first time scanning and imaging an entire mammalian brain. The data processed is produced by the BTS to reconstruct the three-dimensional structure of the scanned tissue. The central goal is to map and understand the connectivity and geometry of cortical networks - critical to understanding natural computation. Center for Information Assurance and Security Directed by: Riccardo Bettati 509C HRBB, 979/ 847-8578, [email protected] Faculty members, researchers and students of CIAS focus on a broad spectrum of issues involved in the expansion and protection of information and communications infrastructure systems.

Rather, they are collections of faculty with shared research and educational interests. These partially map to the research laboratories described in Section II.2. The CS faculty research activities include multi-disciplinary projects with more than 25 other departments, centers and agencies at Texas A&M University, as will be discussed later in this chapter. In order to increase the rankings of the department, as well as be in a position to effectively collaborate on areas of national need, it is critical that we continue strengthening the core areas. This issue is reflected in the department goals described in the following section.

Department Goals The goals of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University, as outlined below, reflect imperative needs that if met, will take the department to the next level. We separate these goals into four areas:  National and international recognition  Multi-disciplinary collaborations  Faculty development  Student development The goals of the department are given below, with the particular objectives to reach each goal outlined as bullet items. Goal I: Increase ranking of computer engineering to be in the top 10 and computer science to be in the top 15, among public universities, by 2020. The computer engineering graduate program was ranked 14 in 2011 and 11 in 2012. Computer science was ranked 27 in 2010 and 27 in 2012. These rankings are from U.S. News & World Report. The following objectives are necessary to achieve this goal.  Significantly increase our peer research reputation, since the rankings are based on this. o Increase the visibility of our research through public relations, seminars at other universities, and increased invited seminars at Texas A&M.  Continue hiring good faculty.  Continue graduating Ph.D. students that have significant research careers in academia, industrial labs and national labs. o Continue recruiting graduate students from strong undergraduate institutions. o Increase the number of Ph.D.s placed in top organizations.  Increase the number of nominations of faculty and students for national awards.  Increase the number of senior faculty serving on national boards.  Increase our annual research budget. Goal II: Increase multi-disciplinary collaborations. Many of society’s most challenging problems require multi-disciplinary solutions that include computer science and engineering as a major component. Our faculty have many existing collaborations, but there are many unrealized potential collaborations, particularly in the area of energy.  Continue building within the core research areas. o Recruit faculty with depth in a core area and interest in collaboration.  Continue producing research that has a significant impact.  Increase the number of large-scale multi-disciplinary projects with CSE as the lead. Goal III: Increase faculty development. In addition to recruiting good faculty, they must be mentored and developed. Currently, the department has one endowed chair, which was used to attract Dr. Bjarne Stroustrup to Texas A&M University. The department has only five professorships. More endowed chairs and professorships are needed for retention of top- producing senior faculty. Further, the current student-faculty ratio for the department is twice that of the top 36 CS departments as measured by the CRA Taulbee survey. We must continue to increase the diversity of our faculty. Of the 33 tenured/tenure-track faculty, 8 are women and 4 are minority.  Significantly increase the number of endowments for research professorships and chairs. o Increase development efforts with former students.  Secure adequate space for faculty, students staff and educational and research labs. o Pursue development of a joint CSE-ECE building.

 Improve the productivity of the working environment. o Increase staff efficiency through business process simplification and selective outsourcing, so that faculty can focus on teaching, research and service.  Improve the department mentoring program for junior faculty. o Continue development of peer teaching evaluations.  Continue to increase the diversity of the faculty. o Develop and nurture relationships with top women and minority graduate students at other universities. o Aggressively recruit women and minority faculty. Goal IV: Increase programs for undergraduate and graduate student development. It is vital that we provide a supportive and nurturing environment in order to attract and retain top students. Figure III.1. Enrollment peaked at 1400 in the late 1990s, and then gradually declined until 2009. Some of this decline was due to the interaction of the department and college enrollment quotas. Once this was resolved, enrollment climbed sharply. The graduate program receives 1100-1200 applications per year, accepting about 18%. The graduate population is approximately three-quarters international, with a relatively small fraction of women and minorities among U.S. graduate students.  Recruit top undergraduate and graduate students. o Increase the number of scholarships for undergraduates and fellowships for graduate students.  Increase the diversity of undergraduate and graduate students. o Continue to build relationships with high schools.  Increase the exposure of undergraduates to graduate school. o Increase participation of undergraduates in research projects. o Increase honors course offerings. o Increase the placement of our undergraduates in top graduate programs.

III.2 Metrics to Determine if Goals are Being Met Goal I: Ranking. This will be measured using the US News & World Report educational rankings. This ranking is both widely used, and is simple to understand. The ranking is based on the average rating (on a five-point scale) given to the department by heads of other doctoral- granting departments. For computer science, graduate advisors were also surveyed. A total of 140 computer engineering and 155 computer science programs are surveyed. Auxiliary metrics include comparison of internal department statistics to the Taulbee Survey. These include research funding, graduate students, and publications per faculty member. Goal II: Multi-disciplinary collaborations. This will be measured using the number of significant collaborations, where significant is indicated by funding and publications. Goal III: Faculty development. This will be measured by endowed positions, space, junior faculty rating of the mentoring program, student teaching evaluations, and faculty diversity. Goal IV: Student development. This will be measured by scholarships and fellowships, diversity, and student participation in research and honors programs, and placement in graduate programs. III.3 Connections to the University’s Strategic Plan The goals of the CSE Department are best understood within the context of Texas A&M University’s “Vision 2020.” The Vision 2020 study establishes twelve imperatives that are directed towards achieving recognition of Texas A&M University as one of the ten best American public universities by the year 2020. The CSE Department’s goals are consistent with the following University Vision 2020 imperatives: - elevate our faculty and their teaching, research, and scholarship (imperative 1); - strengthen our graduate programs (imperative 2); - enhance the undergraduate academic experience (imperative 3); - build on the tradition of professional education (imperative 5); - diversify the A&M community (imperative 6); - increase access to intellectual resources (imperative 7); - enrich our campus (imperative 8); - build community (imperative 9); - demand enlightened government and leadership (imperative 10); - attain resource parity with the best public universities (imperative 11); and - meet our commitment to Texas (imperative 12). As the CSE Department is within the Dwight Look College of Engineering, our goals are outside of the remaining University imperative, which addresses the core areas of Letters, Arts, and Sciences (imperative 4), although our interdisciplinary research activities directly involve and benefit those areas. III.4 Policies and Practices Recognizing Good Teaching The department, college and university support professional development that allows the faculty to remain abreast of current developments in computer science research and teaching methods. The university provides support to faculty by providing teaching workshops through the Montague Center for Teaching Excellence and the Dean of Faculties Office. Faculty are encouraged to attend these free sessions. A program for faculty is also offered through Computing and Information Services that provides free instruction on several software packages used for online instruction. Much attention is paid to recognition of scholarly activity. The department makes a strong and consistent effort to nominate faculty members for teaching, research and service awards. The

20 college and university provide numerous internal award programs for this type of recognition, and the department seeks out external award programs through professional societies and foundations as well. Nearly all of these awards carry generous stipends for use by the awardees. Starting in Spring 2012, the department is conducting a pilot program with four faculty on peer evaluation of teaching, based on the instruments developed by the Task Force on Faculty Performance Evaluation. The objective of this program is to improve faculty teaching by evaluating teaching materials and practices by informed colleagues; this includes classroom visits and analysis of recorded lectures. We expect this program will bring both formative benefits (better mentoring, especially for junior faculty) as well as summative benefits (better information for promotion and tenure, and for teaching awards). III.5 Outline of Intended Changes Past practice was to base faculty award nominations on information gathered during the annual review process, but the department is setting up a standing Faculty Awards Committee to consider faculty for nominations on a continuous basis. The department offers selected undergraduate honors courses, but does not offer a full slate required for an honors program. The Undergraduate Curriculum Committee is evaluating options to offer such a program within current resource constraints. III.6 Joint Programs and Collaborative Research The department has collaborative research with many other programs in other departments and colleges, as shown in Figure III.2. For example, many computer engineering faculty within CSE and ECE collaborate on research and student advising. CSE has a formal collaboration with Industrial and Systems Engineering and with Visualization in the Computational Science and Visualization (CSV) activity. The CSV activity has a joint space in the Emerging Technologies and Development Building. CSE and Visualization have a Joint Committee for Computer Graphics Initiatives that meets regularly to coordinate computer graphics and visualization activities between their departments, including cross-listed graduate courses. CSE faculty are members of the Institute for Applied Mathematics and Computational Science (IAMCS), which is a collaboration of CSE, Math and Statistics, as well as the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute at the University of Utah. CSE faculty also collaborate in the Alliance for Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Systems Biology (ABCS). In addition to the many departments across the university, the faculty collaborate with the Texas Center for Advanced Technology (TCAT) and the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI).

Figure III.2 Research Collaborations III.7 Areas of Outstanding Performance Bjarne Stroustrup, Distinguished Professor and College of Engineering Endowed Chair in Computer Science, was elected to the National Academy of Engineers (NAE) in February 2004; this is the highest recognition given to an engineer, and was appointed a Distinguished Professor. The department currently has four IEEE Fellows; this award is given for exceptional accomplishment in computer science, computer engineering and electrical engineering, with no more than 0.1% of IEEE members selected in any one year. A faculty member has received the IEEE Computer Society 2004 Computer Entrepreneur Award. In 2000, four faculty members received the IEEE Third Millennium Medal; only 3,000 individuals out of a field of 350,000 members were chosen for this award. One faculty member is an Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Fellow, an AT&T Bell Laboratories Fellow and an AT&T Fellow. Sixteen current faculty members have been presented with PYI/NYI/CAREER awards by the National Science Foundation in recognition of the potential of young stars in science and engineering; three of which were awarded this spring. National awards garnered by CSE faculty include the ACM Distinguished Engineer (2007); the ACM Distinguished Speaker (2008); the ACM Distinguished Scientist (2009); three Google Research Awards (two in 2009 and one in 2010); the Air Force Office of Scientific Research- Young Investigator Award (2012); the National Institute for Urban Search and Rescue Eagle Award (2010); the William Procter Prize for Scientific Achievement (2005); Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency-Young Faculty Award (2010); Computing Research Association (CRA) Nico Habermann Award (2002) for recognition of significant contributions toward increasing under-represented groups in computing; the University of California, Berkeley Distinguished Engineering Young Outstanding Leader Award (2002); the Hewlett-Packard IEEE Harriet B. Rigas Award for an Outstanding Woman Educator (2002 and 2004); the Marketing Opportunities in Business and Entertainment (MOBE) Influencers and Innovators of the Internet and Technology Award (2003); Richard A. Tapia Achievement Award for Scientific Scholarship, Civic Science, and Diversifying Computing (2005); NASA Public Service Medal

Our endowed chair, Bjarne Stroustrup, was named one of “America's twelve top young scientists” by Fortune Magazine in 1990 and as one of “the 20 most influential people in the computer industry in the last 20 years” by BYTE magazine in 1995. Members of our faculty are well recognized in the area of service to the profession and community. In the last six years alone, the CSE faculty has held well over 80 important and influential professional positions, including editors-in-chief of professional journals, chairpersons of technical conferences, and president of a professional society. Richard Volz, professor emeritus, served as president of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society from January 2006 to December 2007. In 1976 Professor Emeritus Dick Simmons served as president of the IEEE Computer Society, the largest professional organization in computer science. The department’s influence and exposure is rapidly growing through participation on major boards. The computer science and engineering faculty are currently serving on the following national or federal boards/committees: NSF CISE Advisory Committee (the NSF CISE Directorate is the primary source of funding in the department); IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Administrative Committee; the University of California at Berkeley College of Engineering Advisory Board; Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s Technology Workforce Development Advisory Board; the ANSI/ISO C++ Standards Committee; NIST Subcommittee on Technology and Innovation; Vice-General Chair of the IEEE International Workshop on Defect Based Testing ( 2006); International Journal of Parallel, Emergent and Distributed Systems Editorial Board Member (2010 – present); American Association for Artificial Intelligence; TPC co-chair IEEE International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (2009); IEEE Robotics and Automation Society co-chair of the Technical Committee on Networked Robots (2007-2009); National Computational Science Alliance Executive Committee Member; the CRA Committee on the Status of Women (CRA-W); Computing Research Association Board of Directors Member ( 2008 – present); chair of the Coalition to Diversify Computing (CDC) (2002-2003), a joint organization of three national societies in computer science and computer engineering—ACM, Computing Research Association (CRA), and IEEE Computer Society; Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing Program Committee Chair for Invited Talks (2004) and Member of Academic Advisory Committee (2006, 2010) and Scholarship Committee Co-Chair (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011). Other past service on national or federal boards includes: National Institute of Health Visible Human Project; Air Force Scientific Advisory Board; NASA Aerospace Safety Advisor Panel; NASA Center of Excellence in Information Technology Steering Committee; NASA Space Station Advisory Committee; NASA Automation and Robotics Panel. III.8 Summary of Recognition, Awards, Indications of Successful Teaching (TO) As noted earlier, Texas A&M University, the College of Engineering and Texas Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) have well-developed awards programs in place to recognize the efforts of faculty and staff. Nominations for these awards, initiated within the department, have had a good degree of success. Recent awards are listed at the end of this section. Descriptions of College level awards that we typically nominate faculty for are included below (note that TEES awards are considered as college level). At the University level, there are also several opportunities for recognition, such as the following that we have recently nominated faculty for (not an inclusive list): Montague Center for Teaching Excellence Scholar Program, President’s Advising Award, Koldus Faculty & Staff Achievement Award, Regents Professor Service Award, Bush Excellence in Public Service Award, University Faculty Fellow, University

Distinguished Lecturer, and TAMU Diversity Award. The Texas A&M University Association of Former Students also sponsors University-level distinguished achievement awards in teaching, research, individual student relations, and staff excellence. The department has also nominated faculty for the following national level awards: Computing Research Association – Women (CRA-W) Anita Borg Early Career Award, NSF National Medal of Science, IEEE Kyoto Award, IEEE Computer Society Computer Entrepreneur Award, CRA Distinguished Service Award.

IV QUALITY ENHANCEMENT PLAN

IV.1 Intended Outcomes The Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) themes for the Department of Computer Science and Engineering are:  Research

 Diversity  Internationalization  Technology The complete QEP for the Department was developed in September 2003. The QEP contains a list of desired outcomes for each degree program. The intended outcomes for each degree program involve three components: 1. Preparing our students to be competitive in the job market – industry or academia. 2. Ensuring that our students make adequate progress toward graduating. 3. Ensuring that our students have the skills and background to be valued employees. Our students must perform high quality research to be competitive in academia. This aspect of our intended outcome specifically addresses the QEP theme of strengthening our research productivity. Moreover, diversity and internationalization are directly related to providing graduates that are competitive in the job market since the employers are looking for diversity and individuals prepared to be effective in a global workplace. If we are to be efficient in producing Ph.D. graduates, we must continually monitor the progress of the students. Students frequently need mentoring and advising to make sure that they do not spend an excessive amount of time in finding an advisor, research topic, etc. If a student is unable to meet the demands of a research degree, they must be made aware of the situation early in their educational career. In addition to research quality, the employers of our students demand that they have experience working in teams; are able to communicate effectively; and have a strong general background in computer science topics. IV.2 Means of Assessment and Criteria for Success In order to determine how well we are meeting these objectives, we can use objective data from the University to measure how many of our students are staying in the program and how long it takes them to complete their doctorate. The Office of Institutional Studies and Planning prepares reports giving the average number of semesters to graduate and the retention rate. To ensure that our Ph.D. students are making adequate progress toward graduating we instituted an annual doctoral student review in 2004. This assessment will enhance our overall efforts in quality enhancement by identifying students not making progress toward their degree or in need of mentoring. Once identified, we can offer help to these students, and track their progress more carefully. We can also observe how successful our graduates are in obtaining suitable positions. Recently, our students have taken jobs primarily in academia, national labs, or in the computer industry. Whether our graduates have learned the skills and attitudes to make good employees is more subjective. For the case of academic positions, one measurable is the ability of our graduates to progress through the academic rankings of assistant, associate and full professors. For the case of industrial positions, it is difficult to measure as each position is unique. It is for this reason that we have been discussing the use of employer surveys to obtain some feedback. This is still in the discussion stage, as the careful wording of survey questions is critical to getting useful data. IV.3 Actual Results Obtained All of last year’s doctoral graduates were successful in finding suitable employment. Many of our graduates of the last few years have gone to academic institutions and the reputation of these schools is better than in previous years. Examples of schools that have hired our recent graduates include Ohio State University, Vassar College, Washington University in St. Louis, University of the South, DePaul University, Iowa State University, Bucknell University,

University of Illinois at Springfield, University of Denver. Other recent graduates have been hired into industry positions at such companies as IBM, Nortel, Boeing, Dell, Microsoft, HP, Intel, IBM, Texas Instruments and Agilent Technologies. Some research facilities that employ our recent Ph.D. graduates are IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, NASA Goddard, Naval Research Laboratory, Baker Center for Bioinformatics and Biological Sciences at Iowa State University, and the Electronics and Telecommunication Research Institute (ETRI) in Korea. We expect to keep at least 90% of our Ph.D. students each year remaining in the Ph.D. programs or graduating. Table IV.1 shows the results of the Ph.D. review. It lists the year, number of students reviewed, number found satisfactory (Sat), number who need improvement (NI), number who are unsatisfactory (Unsat), number who must file an improvement plan (Improve) and number dismissed from the program (Dismiss). As can be seen, initially the process flagged many students, then fewer were flagged, and more recently faculty have become tougher on the students to push them to make faster progress.

Since 1996, the average time for a Ph.D. student to finish their degree is 5.8 years. This number has been slowly falling as the Ph.D. review has identified students who are making relatively slow progress. IV.4 Use of Results for Improvement The results of the Ph.D. review led to the following actions:  Ph.D. students were required to have a degree plan filed with an advisor and committee by the end of their third semester. An extension would only be granted at faculty request.  Faculty emphasized to students to need to submit a proposal and pass their preliminary exam in a timely fashion. Each year the expectations in the annual Ph.D. review have risen for students to stay closer to the typical timeline.  Ph.D. students whose performance was not satisfactory were required to write performance improvement plans with the approval of their advisor and the department head, and then held to these plans.  Students who do not improve are dismissed from the program.  A qualifying exam was re-instituted. The results will be used in the Ph.D. review in May 2012 for the first time.

V STATISTICAL SUMMARIES

V.1 Student Profile V.1.1 Master’s Fall 2011 enrollment data reports 162 master’s degree seeking graduate students. The master’s degree population consists of 33 women and 92 international students. V.1.2 Doctoral Fall 2011 enrollment data reports 160 doctoral seeking graduate students. The doctoral student population consists of 21 women and 110 international students. V.1.3 Non-Degree Students The same enrollment data also reported that 1 graduate student is enrolled as a non-degree seeking student. These are typically students who are employees on campus who do not meet our normal admissions standards, and wish to take some courses and prove their potential and be reconsidered for admission. V.1.4 Student Demographics Student demographics for the 2011 program are indicated in Sections V.1.1 through V.1.3. A further detail is that approximately 16% of our U.S. students are from out-of-state. V.1.5 Number of Admissions In academic year 2011, 165 graduate students were admitted, including 43 Ph.D. students (11 US), and 122 master’s students (21 US). The number of admitted Ph.D. students is lower than previous years because the university budget cut resulted in a decrease in the number of departmental assistantships we could offer. On the other hand, the numbers are still consistent with our goal of remaining at roughly 300 graduate students, with about half of them being Ph.D. students. Each year we receive over 300 Ph.D. and 800 master’s applications. Nearly all of the master’s applications are for the M.S. program, with a small number for the Master of Computer Science or Master of Engineering non-thesis degrees. Only a few non-thesis students are admitted each year, who are of similar quality to the M.S. students. V.1.6 Student Financial Support There are several methods of support for graduate students. Over the past eight years, strong preference has been given to doctoral students in assigning assistantships, with the lesser priority given to master’s students with the thesis option. Thus, the support for the non-thesis degrees is very small. Preference is also given to doctoral students over master’s. Most assistantships are $1,400/month at the master’s level and $1,600/month at the doctoral level, plus tuition and fees. Types of support are:  Graduate teaching assistantship (GAT). These are used to help recruit students and give faculty an opportunity to get to know the student before committing their research funds.  Graduate research assistantship (GAR). These are usually funds controlled by the individual faculty.  Graduate Assistant Non-Teaching (GANT). These assistantships are mostly utilized in providing state of the art computational facilities within the department. Some GANTs are available from other departments within the university. There is a review process that must be approved by this department and the funding department verifying that

32 this work will further the educational program. If this is not certified, then the student will not be eligible for in-state tuition. V.2 Faculty Profile V.2.1 Tenure and Non-Tenure Table V.1. Tenured and tenure track (non-tenure) faculty as of Fall 2011

* Awarded on arrival to TAMU V.2.3 Post Tenure Review In 1997, the Department of Computer Science and Engineering adopted a Post Tenure Review Policy to supplement the existing College of Engineering Post Tenure Review Policy. The departmental policy specifies three things:

1) The levels of performance to be used for the purpose of post tenure review. 2) The criteria to be used in determining performance level. 3) The composition of the Departmental Review Committee to review those tenured faculty whose performance the department head states to be unsatisfactory. Each year, the department head shall provide an evaluation of faculty for purposes of post tenure review. This rating is distinct and separate from comments made in a faculty member’s annual review. Each tenured faculty member shall be ranked at one of the three levels of performance in each of the three categories of work, as follows: Teaching Research Service Superior Superior Superior Satisfactory Satisfactory Satisfactory Unsatisfactory Unsatisfactory Unsatisfactory These three area rankings are combined to give an overall satisfactory/unsatisfactory grade as follows: Rule 1: If teaching is unsatisfactory, then the overall rating is unsatisfactory. Rule 2: If research is unsatisfactory, then either teaching or service must be superior to get an overall satisfactory, otherwise the overall is unsatisfactory. The Departmental Review Committee shall be composed of the Promotion and Tenure Committee Chair, Associate Department Head for Academics and the Department Head. The Review Committee shall be convened in the case that the Department Head rates the performance of one or more tenured faculty as unsatisfactory. V.2.4 Teaching Load The nominal teaching load for tenure/tenure-track faculty is three courses during the academic year. Of these courses, about half are undergraduate classes and half are graduate classes. New faculty have a lighter teaching load for the first two years (two courses per academic year) and faculty are able to use research funds to buy out of a course if they would like a lighter load. Lighter loads are also given to faculty with a heavy administrative load. Over the last few years, the average number of courses per faculty member per academic year has been about 2.3. Special topics classes, CPSC 689s, are frequently taught; these classes may be new topics that are intended to become regular classes or research oriented courses in the faculty member’s area that may only be taught once or twice. Nearly half of the graduate offerings in the last two years have been CPSC 689 classes.

VI PROGRAM COMPONENTS

VI.1 Graduate Programs Advanced study in computer science and computer engineering provides students with the skills to design and utilize modern computer systems. The Department encourages both fundamental research in computing and interdisciplinary research. Research projects in diverse areas offer students a wide range of opportunities to gain experience while completing requirements for

41 advanced degrees. Significant computational facilities, networks, and other resources are available to support student research. Graduate studies in the Department can lead to the following degrees:  Master of Computer Science (MCS)  Master of Engineering in Computer Engineering (MEN)  Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS)  Master of Science in Computer Engineering (MSCE)  Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science (PhDCS)  Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Engineering (PhDCE) VI.1.1 Admission General Procedure for Applying. Applications for graduate study in the CSE Department must be completed on-line. Application information, including fees, deadlines, required documentation, test scores and other requirements are available online from the CSE Department (web) and from the Office of Admissions at Texas A&M University (web). Academic Calendar. The academic year is composed of fall, spring, and summer semesters. The fall semester begins in late August and ends in early December. The spring semester begins in mid-January and ends in early May. The summer session begins in late May or early June and ends in early August. The fall and spring semesters are each 15 weeks. The summer semester is 10 weeks in length. Classes may be offered in one of two 5 week sessions. The Texas A&M University deadlines for international applications are March 1 for the fall, August 1 for the spring, and November 1 for the summer. Due to other constraints on timing of scholarship and fellowship deadlines, all applicants are encouraged to use these dates. Entrance Requirements. Applicants must fulfill the requirements for admission to graduate studies as specified in the graduate catalog and must hold a bachelor’s degree, ideally in computer science, computer engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience. Undergraduate preparation should include:  Data structures and analysis of algorithms.  Operating systems, compilers, and database systems.  Digital design and computer systems architecture.  Several high-level programming languages.  Mathematics including calculus, linear algebra, and discrete mathematics. Students are responsible for all course prerequisites. While most undergraduate courses cannot be applied toward graduate degrees, graduate students may take them to ensure they have the appropriate preparation. Students are encouraged to discuss their background with the Graduate Advisor if they have questions. All applicants are required to take the general Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Students who do not have a traditional background are encouraged to take the GRE subject test in computer science. Applicants whose native language is not English are required to submit proof of English proficiency. The Graduate Admissions Office (web) for requirements (e.g., TOEFL, IELTS). TAMU Admissions determines whether your country’s language is English. Evaluation Criteria. All applications are reviewed by the Department’s Graduate Admissions Committee. The criteria used in evaluation of applicants for admission to graduate study in computer science and engineering include:  academic performance on previous degrees,

 GRE scores and, if applicable, TOEFL scores,  relevant background,  letters of recommendation,  the applicant’s statement of purpose, and  other relevant information. The Admissions Committee is primarily interested in determining the applicant’s potential to perform research. VI.1.2 Financial Support The department has a number of graduate fellowships, assistantships, and other types of positions available for CSE students. Further, the University provides fellowships (e.g., Diversity Fellowships) for which we nominate our admitted students. Assistantship positions require 20 hours of work per week and typically have starting salaries of $1,400/month for master’s students and $1,600/month for Ph.D. students. Assistantships permit the holder to carry a full academic program of graduate work. The work assignments vary from classroom assistance to assisting with research. Many students are employed by faculty on research projects. Arrangements for these positions are made with individual faculty members. Students with university financial support (such as teaching or research assistantships) qualify for resident tuition fees. Students with assistantships are eligible for University health insurance coverage and a portion of their monthly premium is paid by the employer. Additional positions are available in other campus departments where students can work as programmers, systems analysts, and computer operators. Arrangements with other departments are made on an individual basis. Additional postings of jobs outside the Department are available online at jobsforaggies.tamu.edu. International students must pass the Texas A&M English Language Institute's proficiency exam to qualify as a teaching assistant. This is also recommended for research and non-teaching assistantships. VI.1.3 Program Requirements Graduate students must fulfill the residence and scholastic requirements for graduate study as specified in the graduate catalog. In addition, the department has these requirements:  Grade Point Requirements. Graduate students must maintain a grade point average of 3.0 in all coursework. A student whose grades drop below this level will be placed on probation and blocked from registration. A student on probation will be required to consult the graduate advisor. A student is usually given one semester to correct a grade deficiency. Each graduate assistant funded by the department must maintain a grade average of 3.25 in all coursework. A graduate assistant whose grades drop below this prescribed level may lose their assistantship.  Registration Requirements. Every graduate student in the department must register for a minimum of 1 credit hour every fall and spring semester. Graduate students holding a departmental graduate assistantship must register for at least 9 credit hours every fall and spring semester. Registration is not required in the summer unless the student has an assistantship, and then 6 credit hours must be taken. Continuous registration can be achieved by registration for one credit hour of CSCE 685 (Directed studies) or 691 (Research) in fall and spring semesters.

VI.1.4 Facilities Library. Texas A&M University’s Evans Library has one of the finer engineering collections in the country, and in technical areas related to our program we have excellent coverage of existing materials with an acquisitions program that is expanding the collection, not merely keeping it current. Rapid access to electronic resources (over 1,200 databases, 120,000 electronic journal and 1.1 million e-books) is enhanced through an Electronic Resources Locator. Almost all of the electronic resources are available twenty-four hours a day, on- or off-campus to faculty and students via proxy server access, and students may customize their library portal for the resources of interest to them. When searching from a computer on-campus (or via a proxy) the Google Scholar system also seamlessly recognizes when TAMU has access to these resources, typically permitting an effortless click-through. In addition to the subscription-based resources, the subject specialist librarians have selected numerous useful government or educational site databases for inclusion in the Electronic Resources Locator database. The Texas A&M University Libraries partnered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to provide specialized resources and services that are only available at two other libraries in the country. These services provide a government agency presence that enables faculty and students to get expert help with patent and trademark questions. Classroom equipment. There are four lecture-oriented classrooms (104, 113, 124, 126) located within the H.R. Bright building (HRBB), for which the department controls the equipment directly. These classrooms are used primarily for courses in the CSE Department, and are where a majority of the Department’s classes that are part of the Computer Science and Computer Engineering programs are offered. In addition to whiteboards, each of these classrooms contains a podium computer, laptop connections, DVD playback device, VHS playback device, a sound system (including amplifier and speakers) for all of the above, and a digital projector and screen. Equipment in all of the most regularly used classrooms all contain sufficient equipment for instruction. Some rooms have additional equipment; for example, the largest lecture hall (HRBB 124) contains a document camera, and additional audio controls (such as a microphone) and three of the rooms have SMART podium monitors allowing annotations to be made directly to the slides and presentation. In addition to the classrooms controlled by our Department, classes are taught in other classrooms under the control of the University. When classrooms in other buildings are used, if sufficient equipment is not available in the room that is assigned, some equipment (laptop and projector) can be obtained and set up by university staff for each class. Though not ideal, this is minimally adequate for instruction in those classes. Faculty offices. Sizes for faculty offices generally vary from 121 to 164 square feet. All faculty members are assigned an individual office with window. There are modern desks, chairs, and tables to facilitate work and meetings with various individuals. Offices contain a whiteboard, telephone (with long-distance capability), bookshelves and filing cabinets (if the faculty member desires them). Faculty computers are generally purchased by individual faculty, using various funding sources. Among the sources for funding are startup funds (for new faculty), research grants, and (perhaps most importantly) a university-wide program that supports upgrades of faculty office computers. This Faculty Workstation Program provides a 3:1 matching for funds (up to $1500 from the University) for purchase of a computer or laptop. Faculty with 4 or more years since last using workstation funds are given priority, although funds may also be given to those with 3 or more year old workstations. Overall, the space and equipment for faculty offices is adequate for faculty members to conduct their business. Computing. The department maintains several computing facilities, connected by a network that ties into the campus network. The local network includes a Cisco 6500 core router with 48 port fiber core switch module, 200 edge switches (10/100 Mbps), and 20 edge switches (1Gbps).

The department maintains several servers that provide remote access to students and faculty. These include NetApp devices that provide storage (30 TB of usable disk space), 17 Dell PowerEdge servers, 19 Sun servers, and 4 HP ProLiant servers. The department also has two special-purpose machines available for remote use: an 8-node Linux cluster, and a recently added GPU-based computer (8 Intel cores, 12 GB RAM, 8 GPUs providing 1024 GPU threads, 12 GB video memory). Every student is given 2 GB of disk quota on a department file server. This data is backed up regularly, including hourly, nightly, and weekly snapshots. In addition, students are given access to 500 GB of scratch space on the secondary departmental file server, and have limited use of lab hard drive space for scratch data. The servers are configured to support remote access for a variety of services. This includes an SVN server, web hosting, project-based database access, interactive Unix servers for both “low” and “high” CPU usage, scratch disk space, backed up disk space, VPN, and printing. The Unix servers include a very large set of software, too extensive to list here, including all of the standard compilers and utilities often available for Unix/Linux systems. Among the additional software provided on the Unix machines is the Sun Studio suite, Mathematica, Adobe Acrobat, and Matlab. Supported software for the Linux cluster is Mathematica, Matlab, and Hspice. Students also have free individual access (i.e. can download their own copies, free) of almost all Microsoft products, by virtue of the Department’s participation in the Microsoft Developers Network Academic Alliance; all students enrolled in department courses have been added to the subscription. This includes important products that may be used for classes, including Visual Studio, SQL Server and Windows Server 2008. Also available as campus resources are the Texas A&M Supercomputing Facility and the Immersive Visualization Center (IVC). The Supercomputing facility includes two large IBM cluster computers, and the IVC consists of a large stereo projection system. Although these facilities are used primarily for research purposes, they could potentially be used for teaching, as well. VI.1.5 Degree Requirements VI.1.5.1 Master of Computer Science (MCS) The MCS degree is a professional, terminal degree, and does not include a thesis, project, or final examination. MCS students have a default advisory committee consisting solely of the Graduate Advisor as chair. Requirements for the MCS degree include:  At least 18 credit hours of graded CSCE graduate coursework.  Three breadth CSCE courses, one from each of these sets: Theory (627, 629), Systems (605, 613, 614) and Software (604, 606, 655). These must be passed with a grade of B or better. These count toward the requirement of 18 hours of graded CSCE graduate coursework.  At most one approved three-credit 400–level CSCE undergraduate course1. This course does not count towards the 18 hours of CSCE graded graduate coursework. Only the following courses are eligible for graduate credit (410, 434, 441, 443, 444, 452, 463, and 465), and only if the student didn’t take an equivalent course for their own previous degree(s).

1 Only the following CSCE courses are eligible for graduate credit (410, 434, 441, 443, 444, 452, 463, and 465), and only if the student did not take an equivalent course for their own previous degree(s).

 Up to 6 credit hours of non-CSCE graded graduate coursework (excluding 681, 684, 685, 691).  1 credit hour of CSCE 681 (Graduate Seminar).  Up to 3 credit hours of CSCE 685 (Directed Studies).  A total of at least 30 credit hours satisfying the above requirements. VI.1.5.2 Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS) The MSCS degree is a research degree requiring a thesis and final examination (thesis defense). The student must select an Advisory Committee Chair from the Department’s graduate faculty. If a student wishes to have a Chair who does not have an appointment with the Department, then the committee must have two Co-Chairs, including one who is a member of the Department’s graduate faculty. (A committee has either one Chair or two Co-Chairs.) The Advisory Committee for the MSCS degree consists of at least three members from the Texas A&M graduate faculty (the Chair counts as a member). There must be at least one member from another department and there must be a majority from the Department. The Advisory Committee can have supplemental members who are not members of the Texas A&M graduate faculty (and hence do not count when evaluating the composition of the committee). Supplemental members are usually added because they have some special expertise that is relevant to the student’s research topic. Such members are added by “Special Appointment” requests. Requirements for the MSCS degree include:  At least 18 credit hours of graded CSCE graduate coursework (excluding CSCE 681, 684, 685, 691).  Three breadth CSCE courses, one selected from each of these sets: Theory (627, 629), Systems (605, 613, 614) and Software (604, 606, 655). These must be passed with a grade of B or better. These count toward the requirement of 18 hours of graded CSCE graduate coursework.  At most one approved three-credit 400–level CSCE undergraduate course1. This course does not count towards the 18 hours of CSCE graded graduate coursework.  At most 6 credit hours of non-CSCE graded graduate coursework (excluding 681, 684, 685, 691).  1 credit hour of CSCE 681 (Graduate Seminar).  4 to 7 credit hours of CSCE 691 (Research).  Up to 3 credit hours of CSCE 685 (Directed Studies). The combination of 685 and 691 cannot exceed 7 credit hours.  A total of at least 32 credit hours. VI.1.5.3 PhD in Computer Science (PhDCS) The PhDCS degree is a research degree requiring a dissertation and final examination. The PhD Advisory Committee is the same as the MSCS degree except that it must have a minimum of four members, a majority from the Department and at least one from another department. Requirements for the PhDCS degree include:  At least 30 credit hours of graded graduate coursework (excluding 681, 684, 685, and 691).  Three breadth CSCE courses, one selected from each of these sets: Theory (627, 629), Systems (605, 613, 614) and Software (604, 606, 655). These must be passed with a grade of B or better. These count toward the requirement of 30 hours of graded graduate coursework.

 At most 6 credit hours of approved non-CSCE graded graduate coursework (excluding 681, 684, 685, 691). This counts towards the requirement of 30 hours of graded graduate coursework.  1 to 2 credit hours of CSCE 681 (Graduate Seminar).  At least 18 credit hours of CSCE 691 (Research). Normally the number of CSCE 691 hours will be increased to meet the required total number of credit hours.  A total of at least 96 credit hours (or at least 64 credit hours if the student has a prior, approved and related master’s degree). In addition, students in the PhDCS program must meet the following requirements: - Annual Review. All doctoral students in the department are reviewed annually by the entire faculty. The purpose of the Ph.D. student annual review procedure is to encourage and motivate Ph.D. student research, and to provide additional mentoring for graduate study. The student is required to prepare and file certain materials for this review by the announced deadline, typically in mid-April. - Qualifier Exam. All students who started the PhD program in Fall 2010 or later are required to pass the PhD Qualifying Exam (Qual) by the end of their fourth regular semester (i.e., Spring or Fall). A maximum of two attempts are allowed to pass the Qual. The exam is a two-hour oral exam conducted by a committee of three faculty members on one of the following areas: (1) Theoretical Foundations, (2) Software, (3) Systems, (4) Human-Centered Systems, or (5) Intelligent Systems. The committee is formed by the Graduate Advisor's office subject to the following constraints: two members must belong to the area selected by the student, and the third member must not belong to the selected area. The student's academic advisor, GAR supervisor(s) or 691 instructor(s) may not serve on the committee. - Preliminary Exam. The Preliminary Exam consists of written and oral portions. Each committee member is scheduled to administer a written exam during the approximately 3 weeks prior to the common oral examination. The format of the oral exam is flexible and is determined by the student's Advisory Committee. In the Department, it is common for students to present their dissertation proposal at the oral prelim. In this case, the student will typically provide the advisory committee members with a draft of the proposal several weeks before the prelim. VI.1.5.4 Master of Engineering (MEN) The MEN degree is a professional, terminal degree, and does not include a thesis, project, or final examination. MEN students have a default advisory committee consisting solely of the Graduate Advisor as chair. Requirements for the MEN degree include:  At least 12 credit hours of graded CSCE graduate coursework (excluding CSCE681, 684, 685, 691).  At least 6 credit hours of graded ECEN graduate coursework that is not cross-listed with CSCE (excluding ECEN 681, 684, 685, 691).  At least 6 credit hours of graded elective graduate coursework (excluding 681, 684, 685, and 691). This may include CSCE, ECEN, or other approved graduate courses.  At most one approved three-credit 400–level CSCE or ECEN undergraduate course1,2. This course does not count towards the 12 hours of CSCE graded graduate coursework.

2 Only the following ECEN 400-level courses may be taken for graduate credit: 420, 421, 444, 447, 448, 455, 474, 468, 475 and 478. These courses cannot be used if the student took an equivalent course for their own previous degree(s).

 1 credit hour of CSCE 681 (Graduate Seminar).  Up to 3 credit hours of CSCE 685 (Directed Studies).  A total of at least 30 credit hours satisfying the above requirements. VI.1.5.5 Master of Science in Computer Engineering (MSCE) The MSCE degree is a research degree requiring a thesis and final examination (thesis defense). The MSCE advisory committee is like that of the MSCS degree with the additional requirement that the Chair or a Co-Chair must be a member of the computer engineering faculty. Requirements for the MSCE degree include:  At least 12 credit hours of graded CSCE graduate coursework (excluding CSCE 681, 684, 685, 691).  At least 6 credit hours of graded ECEN graduate coursework that is not cross-listed with CSCE (excluding ECEN 681, 684, 685, 691).  At least 6 credit hours of graded elective graduate coursework (excluding 681, 684, 685, and 691). This may include CSCE, ECEN, or other approved graduate courses.  At most one approved three-credit 400–level CSCE or ECEN undergraduate course1,2. This course does not count towards the 12 hours of CSCE graded graduate coursework.  1 credit hour of CSCE 681 (Graduate Seminar).  4 to 7 credit hours of CSCE 691 (Research).  Up to 3 credit hours of CSCE 685 (Directed Studies). The combination of 685 and 691 cannot exceed 7 credit hours.  A total of at least 32 credit hours. VI.1.5.6 PhD in Computer Engineering (PhDCE) The PhDCS degree is a research degree requiring a dissertation and final examination. The PhDCE advisory committee is like that of the PhDCS degree with the additional requirement that the Chair or a Co-Chair must be a member of the computer engineering faculty. Requirements for the PhDCE degree include:  At least 30 credit hours of graduated graduate coursework (excluding 681, 684, 685, 691).  At least 12 credit hours of graded CSCE graduate coursework (excluding CSCE 681, 684, 685, 691).  At least 6 credit hours of graded ECEN graduate coursework that is not cross-listed with CSCE (excluding ECEN 681, 684, 685, 691).  At least 12 credit hours of graded elective graduate coursework (excluding 681, 684, 685, and 691). This may include CSCE, ECEN, or other approved graduate courses.  1 to 2 credit hours of CSCE 681 (Graduate Seminar).  At least 18 credit hours of CSCE 691 (Research). Normally the number of CSCE 691 hours will be increased to meet the required total number of credit hours.  A total of at least 96 credit hours (or at least 64 credit hours if the student has a prior, approved and related master’s degree). Students in the PhDCE program must meet similar additional requirements as those in the PhDCS program: (1) Annual Review, (2) Qualifier Exam, and (3) Preliminary Exam; please refer to section VI.1.5.3. VI.2 Graduate Courses Offered (Appendix B)

VI.3 Course Demand Courses offered can be classified in several ways:  Breadth courses are those that can be considered basic and we have a requirement for at least three of them in each student's education. The breadth requirements are that one course from each of three pairs, (CSCE 627, CSCE 629), (CSCE 605, CSCE 613, CSCE 614), and (CSCE 604, CSCE 606, CSCE 655), must be taken. The intent of the breadth requirement is to ensure some breadth in the degree plan. With the exception of CSCE 605, these courses are offered at least once each year and if the demand warrants, we offer them two or three times per year. In particular, CSCE 614 (Computer Architecture) and CSCE 629 (Algorithms) are offered every semester; CSCE 629 is being offered three times in 2011-2012 due to increasing demand from students from other departments in the College of Engineering.  More popular graduate courses are offered once a year, while less popular advanced courses are offered once every two years.  New courses are usually created by new faculty. New courses are taught twice as special topics courses before the proposal for permanent status is prepared. The university requires that a course be taught at least once each three years or it shall be discontinued. Thus, the course offerings change each year as some courses are added and some courses disappear with changes in the faculty; as an example, in the most recent revision of the graduate course catalog (2011-2012) we removed eight CSCE graduate courses that had become dated. We require a minimum of ten courses for the Ph.D. and the rest of the credits shall be research. If the student entered the program with a master’s degree from another university/program, then at least two doctoral courses must be completed in our program. The average Ph.D. degree plan has eleven courses if the student does not already have a master’s degree and has four courses if the student has a master’s degree. VI.4 GRE Scores and GPR of Students The GRE scores are one component of the admissions decisions that are considered; please refer to section VI.1.1 for additional evaluation criteria. Faculty members generally believe that the GRE has become an irrelevant indicator of student performance. Approximately half our applicants are from India (53% for fall 2012) and more than half the remaining applicants are from the People's Republic of China (30% in fall 2012). Approximately one-third of our applicants (28% for fall 2012) make a perfect score on the quantitative part of the GRE. Also, it is well known that undergraduate students in India and PRC take courses that could reasonably be described as “Scoring High on the GRE.” Their GRE verbal scores often reflect that training but not true skills. VI.5 Student Involvement in Their Learning The department is involved in a number of activities besides the basic education revolving around courses and research: 1. Graduate students can take one or more semesters of Professional Internship ( CSCE 684) in addition to the total hours required for their degree plan. 2. Teaching assistantships (GATs) are assigned based on department need, student qualification, and student need. GATs are often coordinated with GARs to maximize the student learning opportunities.

3. Graduate students from the department participate in the university-wide graduate student governance, manage their own association within the department (CSEGSA), and serve as representatives on several departmental committees. 4. Graduate and undergraduate students organize workshops to educate other students, as well as faculty and staff, on current technical topics in computer science. Students also manage the Aggie Women in Computer Science (AWICS) which has sent large contingents to appropriate national meetings. Our students have served as presiding and contributing officers for a number of other campus organizations. VI.6 Student Body Composition The graduate student body consists of 23% domestic and 77% international students. For the master’s degree, 26% are domestic and 74% are international students. For the doctoral degree, 30% are domestic and 70% are international students. VI.7 Recruitment Information Recruitment activities have increased significantly in the last few years for the purpose of increasing the quality and percentage of US Ph.D. students. These activities include: the Invited Graduate Admission (IGA) program, NSF-sponsored REU programs, and the Distributed Mentoring (DMP) program. In addition, to make our admission offers more competitive, we are now offering 5-year assistantships to top Ph.D. applicants. Invited Graduate Admission program. Attracting top US students to our graduate program, in particular to our Ph.D. program, is a crucial component for achieving our goal to become a top computer science department in the country. Texas A&M University, including the CSE Department, has been highly respected for its quality of undergraduate education. Therefore, our own undergraduate program provides an excellent source to recruit top students. For this purpose, in fall 2003 we initiated the IGA program to encourage our own top undergraduates to enter our graduate program. The program is implemented as follows: in the fall of each year, the Graduate Admissions Committee reviews undergraduate students who are in their last academic year and belong to one of the following categories:  The top 50 students in terms of GPA, or  Students recommended by at least one senior faculty member in the department The committee evaluates the above students, selects the top students and grants them IGA. The department head sends admission and congratulation letters to the admitted students in December. A workshop is held in September. IGA students are advised of the program, how to prepare for the GRE (to meet university requirements and for various fellowship applications), how to take courses for graduate credits, and how to start their research under the supervision of a CSE faculty member. Faculty members serve as mentors for the admitted IGA students. The mentor- mentee relations are established mainly in terms of research interests. The IGA students select their own mentors. The department assigns mentors for students who have no clear preference. The graduate application fee is paid by the department for IGA students who accept our admission offer. Help will also be provided for these students to prepare for the GRE test. IGA students who declare a clear desire for entering our Ph.D. program have a high priority for departmental fellowships and teaching assistantships. Faculty mentors are encouraged to advise the IGA students in their graduate study course plan, to supervise the students for collaborative

50 research, and to consider offering research assistantships to their mentees to support their graduate study. Faculty members are expected to inform our students of the opportunity of the IGA program as early as their sophomore year, and to provide advice and suggestions to students for considering the IGA program. Five-year assistantships. Another effort the department has made to attract top Ph.D. student to join our graduate program was to revise the policy of our graduate assistantship offers. In Fall of 2008, a new policy for 5-year assistantship offers was established. Each year, the department Graduate Assistantship and Awards Committee selects the very best Ph.D. applicants (in particular, the very best US Ph.D. applicants) and offers them a 5-year departmental assistantship. During the first year, the students are Teaching Assistants, to allow time to get acclimated to the department and find research advisors. The Assistantship is renewed as a Teaching Assistantship or Research Assistantship and is subject to satisfactory academic progress and evaluation of student’s assistantship duties as indicated by department and supervisor’s reviews. NSF REU Program. Summer 2012 will mark the ninth year that the CSE Department is offering a summer REU Program (Research Experiences for Undergraduates). The program spans 10 weeks and involves undergraduate students from Texas A&M as well as students from other colleges and universities from across the United States. It is hoped that the students participating in the CSE REU program will make significant contributions to ongoing faculty research and, more importantly, will gain an appreciation for and an interest in graduate school and a future research career. To participate in the program, students must have an interest in and a desire to participate in ongoing research in computer science or computer engineering, have completed their sophomore year in a computer science or computer engineering curriculum, have a cumulative minimum GPA of 3.00 (exceptions may be made based on review of the applicant's last 60 hours of coursework), plan to graduate no earlier than December 2012, be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and may not enroll in additional academic courses during the summer sessions Students admitted to the REU program receive funding in the amount of $5,000 for their research work at CSE@TAMU for the summer, $1,000 meal allowance, $1,000 housing allowance (if not living in luxury housing provided), and travel expenses to and from Texas A&M University. Since 2004, 139 undergraduate students have participated in our REU program, 42 of whom have gone on to pursue graduate degrees (17 of them in our Department). VI.8 Graduate Program Rankings Some of the most commonly referred rankings are U.S. News & World Report rankings, and National Research Council (NRC) Rankings. The U.S. News & World Report ranks engineering colleges based on an algorithm based on the opinions of deans and CEOs of companies. A of the 2012 U.S. News & World Report graduate rankings is presented in Table VI.1; Table VI.2 shows the rankings of our peer departments within the College of Engineering3 at Texas A&M University. The NRC rankings are based on the opinions of faculty of peer doctoral granting universities. The NRC assessed programs according to 21 different criteria, and generated five ratings to help summarize those criteria4.

Students must complete a detailed summary of each lecture. Even though this is a class, seminars are widely advertised and open to all. Other research groups have regular seminar programs and individual faculty host invited speakers throughout the academic year. These seminars are also widely publicized to CSE students and faculty.  Graduate students have representatives on appropriate departmental committees, allowing them an opportunity for involvement in planning and policy making activities. Feedback on faculty candidates is also requested from graduate students and utilized in the decision making process.  On a regular basis, “Lunch with a Professor” events are held where faculty and students have an informal lunch, which provides opportunities for socialization and collaborative discussion.  Each Wednesday afternoon the faculty are invited to get together during an informal “coffee & cookie” break, which provides opportunities for socialization and collaborative discussion  Each Friday, the department organizes an informal Research Lunch where faculty present their on-going research, potential research/teaching ideas, or additional activities that may be of interest to the department  Over the last two years, we have made an effort to revamp the graduate student association (CSEGSA), which had become dormant during 2007-2010. CSEGSA organizes a number of social activities, including Lunch with a Professor (a group of

graduate students gets together over lunch with a faculty member of their choice to discuss graduate life, research or trivia), Bond Night, Soccer Fun, Basketball Fun, Thanksgiving Potluck Lunch, etc. They also help organize departmental events (Fall Picnic, Spring Banquet) and are in charge of selecting various departmental awards (graduate faculty teaching excellence award, faculty service excellence award, and staff excellence award).

VII BUDGET INFORMATION

VII.1 Overview The department level financial management process is a bit more complex at Texas A&M University than at most institutions. There are several major sources of income that flow into the departmental budget and several categories of expenses beyond those for normal operation of a department. In this chapter, these general categories are described first, along with an overview of the financial management processes involved. In particular, the terminology naming the different funds is described. Then, in subsequent sections, the various standard categories of expenses, such as faculty salaries and operating expenses are analyzed. First, it must be noted that there are two highly overlapping but distinct organizational units that impact the doctoral program. They are the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University, and the Computer Science and Engineering Division of the Texas Engineering Experiment Station (TEES). Since the doctoral program is focused on research, there is a strong coupling between the two and an evaluation of the budget must consider both. The major income categories for the department/division are the following: 1. State allocated general funds for operation of the department. This is divided into two principal categories: a. Teaching budget – faculty salaries b. Non-teaching budget – staff salaries, travel, supplies, etc. 2. TEES indirect return based on a percentage of the indirect TEES collects from the funded research expenditures by the faculty in the department 3. Student fees divided into three categories a. Instructional Enhancement Fee (IEEF) -- These have both undergraduate and graduate components b. Computer Access Fee c. Advising Fee – pays only a portion of Advisor salary 4. Gifts 5. Externally funded research Broadly speaking the expense categories that must be covered by these funds include: 1. Faculty salaries 2. Staff salaries 3. Graduate student salaries 4. Equipment, software and network expenses 5. New faculty startup packages 6. Cost sharing on proposals 7. Operating expenses As will be described below, there are several somewhat unusual aspects to this financial arrangement.

In the subsequent subsections, we describe what the department is able to do with this funding level in terms of faculty salaries, staff salaries, graduate student support, etc. VII.2 Department Funding As noted above, the total funding for the department comes from a number of sources. As with most research universities, portions of faculty salaries, research assistants, research equipment, research travel, etc., are paid directly by grants and contracts; these funds are described in the next section. In this section we consider all of the other sources of funding for supporting the department. There are several broad categories of funds from different sources, each having different restrictions on their use. State Academic Funding. This category of funding consists of the department’s portion of funding approved by the State Legislature for higher education. Table VII.1 shown below gives the total amount of funding and the ratio of funding to the number of faculty members over the past five years. The state funding includes faculty and support staff funds. The faculty number is the sum of the FTE lecturers and the number of tenured/tenure-track faculty who were teaching (regardless of research time buyouts) during the academic year. In the tables below, we compare this funding with other departments in the College of Engineering on the basis of total dollars, dollars/SCH (student credit hours) and dollars/WSCH (weighted student credit hours). The Texas State Legislature funds Texas A&M University by WSCHs, which vary by College or Program Area and level. Weights of the student credit hours for the College of Engineering are: Lower Division – 2.41; Upper Division – 3.87; Master’s – 7.63; Doctoral – 15.96. Table VII.1. State allocated funding over past 5 years

2006 - 2007 - 2008 - 2009 - 2010 - 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 State Funding $4,924,602 $5,149,493 $5,650,955 $5,639,653 $5,668,823 Number of Faculty 39 41 39 39 40 State funding per faculty $126,272 $125,597 $144,896 $144,606 $141,721

Table VII.2. shows the SCH and WSCH generated by the Department in FY2011. Some of the courses are listed in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECEN), Visualization (VIZA) or Engineering (ENGR) due to CSE faculty teaching these courses (e.g. via cross-listing). Tables VII.3 and VII.4 shows the SCH and WSCH across the departments in the college. CSE generates the fifth most SCH and fourth most WSCH in the college. Table VII.2. SCH and WSCH Generated by Courses

Table VII.4. Weighted Semester Credit Hours by department for College of Engineering

Student Fee Funding. Due to limited State funds, Texas A&M University uses student fees to help offset various specific costs associated with instruction. These funds are distributed to the departments for specific use, such as laboratory equipment (maintenance and replacement), support of technical staff to maintain equipment/software, and for expenses showing course improvement and enhancement. They are closely audited to ensure that the funds are used for only the purposes for which they are instituted. The primary fee that brings funds into the department is the Instructional Enhancement/Equipment Fee (IEEF). This fee is charged to the students on a per course basis. Due to relative numbers of undergraduates and graduates, these funds are primarily a result of undergraduate enrollment, with a lesser fraction resulting from graduate enrollment. While it is possible to separate the fees on the basis of graduate or undergraduate courses, that is not an entirely accurate split because some senior level courses are taken by graduate students, and some graduate courses are taken by undergraduate students. In addition, there is a Computer Access Fee (CAF) that is charged to each student on the basis of the number of credit hours they take. However, most of the CAF funds are retained by the University for support of university- wide laboratories, with only a relatively small amount coming back to the department. The funds are used by the department for classroom enhancement, specifically for consumable materials and supplies. Table VII.5 shows the history of these funds over the past five years. Table VII.5. IEEF funds returned to department over past 5 years

Computer Undergrad Grad Total IEEF Year Access Fee IEEF IEEF Funds 2006 - 2007 $19,118 $352,191 $123,743 $475,934 2007 - 2008 $13,627 $325,355 $111,364 $436,719 2008 - 2009 $13,258 $451,989 $167,175 $619,164 2009 - 2010 $12,132 $507,222 $173,613 $680,835 2010 - 2011 $12,413 $500,336 $205,357 $705,693

Texas Engineering Experiment Station Funding. In addition to the funding received from the State through the General Fund allocation and student fees, the Computer Science and Engineering Division of TEES receives funding from TEES. There are three principal components to the TEES funding: a base allocation, a divisional return, and a principal investigator return. All three are based on a percentage of the indirect collected on research conducted by members of the CSE Division. The base allocation is provided at the beginning of each fiscal year and is equal to 27% of the indirect collected by TEES on the sponsored research conducted during the previous fiscal year. The division return is provided monthly and is 27% of the indirect collected on sponsored research during the previous month. Thus, in total, over a two-year period, the Division receives 54% of the indirect collected. The PI return is 16% of the indirect collected and goes directly to each principal investigator as a discretionary fund that he/she can use for student support, travel, equipment, matching funds, etc. Table VII.6 shows these funds over the past five years.

Table VII.6. Indirect return to the department and principal investigators over past 5 years Total Base Divisional PI Indirect Year Division Allocation Return Return Return 2006 - 2007 $255,579 $211,977 $467,556 $123,870 2007 - 2008 $211,977 $218,746 $430,723 $139,944 2008 - 2009 $218,746 $222,737 $441,483 $170,056 2009 - 2010 $222,737 $273,072 $495,809 $182,433 2010 - 2011 $273,072 $320,949 $594,021 $210,479

On the surface the return of indirect sounds good, however, comparisons with other institutions (and even departments in other Colleges within TAMU) show that the State allocated budgets for operating funds are much less than elsewhere. There are many demands on the indirect funds the department receives. These funds are used in a variety of ways to support the Division which in turn supports the doctoral program. These funds are typically used in the following ways: - Start-up funds for new faculty - Cost sharing required in grant proposals - Fellowships - Research equipment - Division wide research staff support - Research related travel - Research related supplies For some of these categories, such as cost sharing, the necessary funding is usually obtained from the PI, Division and TEES in the same proportions as the indirect is returned. For new faculty startup funds, the Division must provide a proportional share of these funds. When trying to increase in number of faculty to become more equitable and increase research, these start-up costs place a heavy burden on departmental funds. Gift Funding. As a relatively young department, we have fared only moderately well in terms of gifts, though significant progress is now being made. Figure VII.1 shows the gifts that have come into the department over the past five years. These gifts are a mixture of in-kind and designated cash.

Figure VII.1. Gifts to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering over the past five years VII.3 Faculty Salaries The graduate program is managed by the tenured/tenure-track faculty. While it is primarily the salaries of these faculty that concern the graduate program, the department also employs a number of lecturers to teach many of the undergraduate courses, allowing the tenure track faculty to focus more on graduate level instruction. Thus, we report salary information for both categories of faculty. We compare the faculty salaries in Computer Science and Engineering with those of other computer science departments in the United States, as given in the Taulbee Report, in Figure VII.2. In view of the voluminous data available, we report just one recent year of data, for 2010 - 2011 (the most recent year for which complete data is available). Note that there were no faculty merit increases for FY11. Faculty salaries are in line with other highly ranked CS departments at the Assistant and Associate Professor levels.

VII.4 Grants and Contracts The research expenditures of the division has been growing for the past few years, as shown in Table VII.7. (See Appendix C for a complete listing of currently funded research grants.) Table VII.7. Research expenditures over the past five years Fiscal Total Amount Year (Includes F&A) 2007 $5,102,150 2008 $4,813,961 2009 $5,068,594 2010 $5,558,581 2011 $6,432,948

VII.5 Library Purchases of books, journals, digital libraries, etc. are handled through the University’s library. Their current book vendor is YBP. During FY2011, the library received 249 approved or purchased print books in the call number ranges associated with Computer Science at a total approximate cost of $22,355. While this is noticeably less than in past years, they received computer science e-books through Elsevier, Springer, and Wiley e-book packages. The following are the library’s annual subscriptions: - ACM Digital Library: $4,665 - IEEE Xplore: $135,927 - INSPEC: $51,522 - Compendex: $35,397 - Springer Journals: $963,000 - Science Direct: $1,900,000 - Safari Tech Books: $15,450 Requested books can be purchased or borrowed through interlibrary loan. Individual journal articles and book chapters can be purchased through the deliver E-docs program, called Get it for Me. Separate general library funds are available or purchase of backfile, replacement and duplicate books as needed. Additional proceedings or reference purchases can be requested. Serial subscriptions can also be requested. The amount of money spent on serials that fall within the Computer Science call number range for FY11 is shown in Table VII.8 below. Table VII.8.

VII.6 Teaching and Research Assistantship Stipends Several categories of assistantships are available in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. Graduate students most commonly pursue the teaching, computer support and research assistantships. The department sets the salaries for the first two categories, but only a range of salaries for the research assistants. The individual faculty set the salaries within the ranges for the research assistants they hire. Table VII.9 below shows a comparison of the 9- month stipends at TAMU with those of other highly ranked institutions. What is not reported is what students at other institutions receive in terms of tuition and insurance support, though we believe that at most schools they receive at least the level of support provided at TAMU. Graduate assistantships at the 50% level at TAMU provide additional support in the form of health insurance and tuition at the in-state rate, as well as fees. It is evident that the TAMU stipends are lagging behind those of the institutions with which we want to compete, especially those for research assistants. Table VII.9. Comparison of Fall 2009 student stipends with those of the top 36 ranked CS departments in the US

9-Month Grad Student Stipends Stipend

TAMU CS Teaching Mean $14,400 TAMU CS Research Mean $14,619 TAMU CS Computer Support Mean $14,400 CS Departments Ranked 1-12 Median $19,845 CS Departments Ranked 13-24 Median $20,050 CS Departments Ranked 25-36 Median $17,308 CS Departments Ranked 1-12 RA Median $21,700 CS Departments Ranked 13-24 RA Median $21,780 CS Departments Ranked 25-36 RA Median $17,308

Another category of stipend support included in the Taulbee report is fellowship support. However, Computer Science and Engineering has no full support fellowships. This is clearly an area of deficiency. VII.7 Support Staff Salaries CSE classifies the staff into three groups: administrative, accounting, and computing/facilities services. Staff salaries are funded with both TAMU and TEES funds. TAMU funds are typically used for departmental staff. However, TEES funds are used for support staff duties that relate to research support. As seen in Table VII.10 below, the TAMU staff has, over the past five years, decreased by ½ position. Table VII.10. Summary of staff positions in the department

Fiscal Year Funding Source FY07 FY08 FY09 FY10 FY11 TAMU 15.5 14.5 15.6 17 15 TEES 4.5 4.5 4.5 2.5 4.5

Total Positions 20 19 19.5 19.5 19.5 * Some positions are split between TEES and TAMU; all expressed in full time equivalent (FTE) Total staff salary dollars over the past five years are indicated in Table VII.11 below. The steady increase relates to the increase in position levels and in individual salaries. The department enjoys an excellent staff retention rate, which allows salaries for individual positions to rise, and reduces the high cost of training new staff as replacements. Table VII.11. Total staff salary budget by fiscal year

Fiscal Year Funding Source FY07 FY08 FY09 FY10 FY11 TAMU $527,095 $502,431 $536,188 $617,520 $606,073 TEES $127,280 $200,506 $153,359 $105,810 $224,962 Total $654,375 $702,937 $689,547 $723,330 $831,035

Merit increases at Texas A&M University are restricted by state mandates. Below is a five year history of these merit increases: - FY07 merit pool calculated at 3% of FY06 staff salary base; CS received as allocation - FY08 merit pool calculated at 3% of FY07 staff salary base; CS received as allocation - FY09 merit pool calculated at 3% of FY08 staff salary base; CS received as allocation - FY10 merit pool calculated at 2% of FY09 staff salary base; CS received as allocation - FY11 no merit increases Merit increases are one way to increase staff salaries. Two other ways are: - promotion/reclassification in title with a salary increase - equity increase requests

VIII STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

VIII.1 Strengths The departmental strengths include: • Strong and productive faculty of national and international reputation • High publication rate in prestigious journals and highly selective conferences • Increased external research funding over the past five years • Active multi-disciplinary research projects and collaborations with many other campus entities • Connections to IT industry • High morale and collegiality of faculty, staff, and students • Large production of graduates in the department’s graduate programs • Comprehensive graduate educational content • Supportive student organizations • Supportive college and university administrations • Close relation in research between faculty and students • Department support to students’ research and academic initiatives • Student involvement in department research, academic, and social activities

VIII.2 Weaknesses The following are our major weaknesses: • Relatively low Computer Science ranking. This hurts faculty and student recruiting. • Undergraduate student-to-faculty ratio approximately double that of top-36 CS departments. • Relatively low research funding per faculty, at roughly half the level of top-12 departments. This is mostly due to having few large grants. • Relatively young former students. This limits development opportunities for scholarships, fellowships, professorships and chairs. • A large space footprint. It is 0.52 miles between some of our buildings. • Low graduate assistantship stipends hinders graduate student recruiting, particularly among US students. VIII.3 Recommendations for Improvement In order to rise to the next level, the department must work on the following improvements: • Engage in public relations activities to get the word out about our research results. • Target large multi-PI multi-disciplinary grants, building on our many collaborations. • Increase development contacts with former students as they enter their giving years. • Work on developing the CSE-ECE building.

IX GRADUATE STUDENT INPUT

Graduate students in the department contributed to the program review process via informal discussions. They expressed their views about various aspects that affect the outcome of their degree and provided us with suggestions that will benefit them and help improve the quality of the degrees they earn. The key issues and views expressed by the students are outlined below: • The students are satisfied with the variety of courses offered in the department. They like the "Special Topics" course offerings that are focused on faculty members' research topics. These courses help students stay up-to-date with research developments in their desired areas as they can accommodate content changes to reflect these changes. • For most courses, the seats offered for graduate courses are sufficient to accommodate the graduate students who wish to register for courses. When the seats fill up, the department helps students register for courses of their choice via "force requests," a service that is popular with students. However, some popular courses cannot accommodate all students and students would like these courses to be offered with greater frequency. • The two-year graduate teaching schedule has not been kept updated, so it is difficult for students to plan, particularly for every-other-year courses. This is a critical issue for master’s students. • The department's administration is recognized for throwing its weight behind student-run initiatives and providing funding. The department's support to the various student organizations over the years is much appreciated. This is particularly true in helping to revive the UPE honor society chapter. • The students feel that they have a voice in the graduate program, and that those involved in its administration: department head, graduate advisor, director of graduate admissions, are open to suggestions and feedback.

• Stipends have not been increased in some time. Total graduate student cost in terms of stipend, tuition, fees and health insurance has risen significantly, but the actual stipend compares poorly to many peer institutions. • TAMU has discontinued tuition funding for master’s students, which effectively precludes them from being teaching assistants. • Ideally first-year Ph.D. students should be funded by the department, to give students time to choose a research advisor. • There needs to be more identity or strength of research groups, to provide students with more breadth and support.

Course Development Dr. Chai updated the curricula for the CSCE 641 Computer Graphics course. The focus is now on three sub-areas: animation, rendering, and image and video processing. The students who are interested in modeling are encouraged to take CSCE 645 Geometric Modeling which he has redesigned assignments for the class and written slides for every lecture. Similarly, Dr. Chai redesigned the curricula for the undergraduate graphics class CSCE 441. He introduced new topics and introduced new materials focusing on basic concepts of character animation and image and video processing. He developed a new lab for the course which allows students to capture their own movements with the department’s state-of-art motion capture lab and write their own codes to animate characters with captured motion. In this way, students are able to animate any motions for characters as long as they can act them out with their own body.
