HistoryThe Department of Computer Science was formed as a separate department within the George R. Brown School of Engineering in March 1984 and has maintained high standards of achievement ever since. Prior to 1984, the computer science program, which had a long tradition of excellence, was offered jointly by the mathematical sciences and electrical engineering departments. The computer science department currently has 21 full-time faculty members and approximately 70 graduate and 70 undergraduate students. The computer science faculty has a distinguished record of achievements in research, especially in the areas of compilers, programming languages, and parallel and distributed programming systems. The department maintains close ties with the Departments of Computational and Applied Mathematics and Electrical and Computer Engineering; faculty in these three departments collaborate closely in several interdisciplinary research efforts in parallel computing. A former Rice undergraduate, Adam Thornton, has compiled a history of the R1, an early computer designed at (what was then) The Rice Institute. ... and just for fun, old photos of faculty. |
