With a near-100% graduate placement rate, Taylor’s Computer Science & Engineering Department (CSE) hosts one of the premier Computer Science programs in Indiana. We foster a Christian environment while teaching rigorous computer science courses that allow students to gain an in-depth knowledge of computer science, AI, and technology. Each of our dedicated Christian faculty members specializes in a specific area of Computer Science and takes a personal interest in their students’ education and growth.
With an almost 100% success rate, Taylor students graduate with connections to the job market, expertise in many areas, and skills that are ready to adapt to a rapidly-changing tech landscape.
Student-Teacher Team Sends LEGO® Satellites to Space
Taylor University professor Dr. Stefan Brandle and Computer Science and Computer Engineering students Joshua Brown and Evan Smith co-authored a presentation given at the 2025 SmallSat Education Conference at the Kennedy Space Center. They presented a small satellite built using LEGO electronics that could successfully fly in space and send data back to earth.
The goal of this project is to show how students could become interested in STEM and aerospace through building and launching LEGO-based satellites that capture their imagination. This project is supported by the 1846 Giving Circle.
Spring Break Code-a-thon for Missions
Taylor’s Roth Center for Missions Computing traveled with five Computer Science & Engineering students to Colorado Springs to participate in the annual “Code-a-thon for Missions” hosted by LightSys.
The students formed two teams that spent the week writing code and developing web applications for missions organizations around the world. This was the last of four spring break code-a-thons that LightSys hosted in March for various universities, and Taylor was joined by two teams from the Pacific Northwest.
After a week of hard work, the students presented their projects and handed over the code to the project owner. Students shared that the opportunity was challenging, but enriching, and said they were eager to participate again next year.
GameJam
GameJam is a game jam series hosted by the CSE Department and Dr. Jon Denning and run by students at Taylor University. It's is a short, fun, and intense party during which students get together to develop a video game from scratch. Regardless of major or knowledge of programming, all TU students are invited to participate each semester!
Tech industry experience starts your first year at Taylor. You'll have the opportunity to work on real-world computer science projects such developing software for the space, defense, and missions community, take your skills abroad with the Center for Missions Computing, and much more.
On-Campus Events
Join the CS community for fun and challenging events like Game Jam, a themed competition where students have 24 hours to plan, design graphics, and build code for video games.
It's fun, it's intense, you make really cool code—and it gives practical experiences in team dynamics and collaborative problem-solving that will serve you well long after you graduate.
Internships
Internships boost careers. All CS students complete at least one required internship/practicum, and many seek out multiple internships during their time at Taylor.
You'll apply what you’ve learned to the computer science industry, software start-ups, corporations, and missionary organizations. Interns from Taylor receive great reviews from employers who cite their technical knowledge, interpersonal skills, and sense of responsibility. Many internships turn into full-time employment opportunities upon graduation.
Missions & Community Service
Through the Taylor Center for Missions Computing, students can use and develop their computing skills while serving the Kingdom on J-term trips.
Students partner with Business as Mission organizations and fulfill technology needs.
CSE contributes computers, network equipment, and the expertise of faculty and students to schools like The King’s Academy (K-12 Christian academy) and NearSpace Education, a local science and space non-profit.
Tech Fair
The Tech Fair sees companies come from all over the country to promote their causes and recruit students for potential careers. This event is hosted in September of each year, giving you the best chance of landing an internship or job for the following summer.
The Tech Fair is open to any students interested in the tech industry, including Computer Science, Physics, Engineering, and Data Science majors.
The Computer Science Scholarship supports students who demonstrate excellence in technology, creativity, and faith-driven innovation.
Students must be accepted to Taylor and a declared Computer Science or Computer Engineering major. Students who meet these requirements and their parents will receive an email in January with link to apply by February 28. Amounts for some scholarships may consider FAFSA.
In addition to a wide variety of careers, numerous high-end employers have hired Taylor computer science and engineering graduates. These include:
