Welcome to the eye of the hurricane! In a world going through dramatic change, the field of Computer Information Science (CIS) stands at the center of the turmoil, designing, creating, and maintaining the technology and the systems that are central to the way the world works. Whether it's e-commerce, information retrieval via the World Wide Web, financial transactions at a local bank, or rockets blasting into space, computer scientists and information specialists are responsible for the hardware and software systems used for these endeavors. And although the changes in the world seem chaotic, there is calm at the center of the turmoil where the computer scientist and information specialist proceed methodically using the tools of industry, logic and mathematics and an evolving engineering discipline to shape this new world being built.
