Computer Science and Engineering

Much of our research and pedagogy stresses the engineering side of computer science, hence our department’s name. We like to say that we are "one of the top-5 small computer science departments in the USA" since we are one of a handful of small CS departments ranked by US News and World Report.

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at NYU-Poly excels in research, teaching, and learning in computer science and computer engineering. We are at the forefront of research in many strategic areas of computer science,  and we engage with the broader community at Polytechnic, NYU, New York City, and beyond to impact progress in computing and information technology. We recruit and train the most talented students, creating the next generation of leaders in computer science and engineering.

Our strengths are in:

• Cyber security
• Analysis, managment, and visualization of data
• Computer games
• Internet and Web research
• Computer science theory
