Cullinane Hall is the home of rhe first and only College of Comparer Science in rhe U.S. College of Computer Science: Educating the Technological Leaders of the Future hveryone in today ' s society uses computers whetiier they know if or not. Everytime you use fine phone, molse a deposit at your boni ' S or receive your bills in the moil, computers have hod some port in the transaction. The computer industry is finding its home in other major industries, ond it is here to stay. The computer systems of today ore the results of technological breakthroughs of yesterday. As much as the computer industry has im- proved informotion services, the full potentiol for the us e of the com- puter is yet to be realized. It is the computer scientists of rhe future that will toke on the chollenge of developing more advanced computer programs to combot all problems yet unsolved. In the i960 ' s Kologhan started out os a lecturer in the College of Engineering. As Dean of rhe College of Computer Science he wonts to forge o unique path for the school. Photo by Mike Gotch -

dministratioff ollege of Computer Scieni In 1985, rhe demand already exceeds the supply ir skilled workers who program, design and operate jmpurers. Experts in the field ore estimating that by ?90, more than holf-a-million new jobs will be mailable for individuals trained in computer use. any professionals in the computer field see the im- Drtonce of computer education now, in order to in- ire computer advancement in the future. One in- vidual, Dean Paul M. Koioghan, sow this need for eater education in computer related areas and has icceeded in applying his ideas ot Northeastern. Koioghan is an astronomer, physicist and computer ientist omong other achievements. He wos a lecturer Northeastern University in the college of Engineer- g from 1967 through 1973, becoming o full-time culty member in 1981 . Computer courses were odd- d to the curriculum beginning in the lote 1950 ' s. As e computer become more important in society, Nor- eostern exponded the ovailibility of computer ience courses. In 1977, a progrom in computer ience was estoblished in the College of Engineering. J introduced its first formol program in 1980 as o joint ?nture involving the College of Arts and Sciences ond e College of Engineering. Kologhon realized the need for a separate college computer science due to the fast paced direction of e computer industry. He drew up a plan for the col- ge and presented his plon to the administration, ongly believing that computer science could get the pport and funds it needed to compete as a college. In July 1982, after Northeostern brought in a review am and Kologhon ond his colleagues struggled to ?t the college opproved, the first and currently only dependent College of Computer Science in the US, OS instated at NU with Kologhon os dean. The College of Computer Science is designed to train ospective scientists to develop the ability to cognize and solve problems arising from rhe use of imputers in business, educational and research ivironments. Major research interests of the faculty include: or- iciol intelligence applied to expert systems; natural nguoge processing and pattern recognition; Derating systems and parallel processing techniques; 3tQ base system design for monogement information ' Stems; computer networking and communications; -id computer graphics opplicotions. The college provides students with hands-on ex- ' rience in the use of modern time-shoring ond micro- )mputer systems. Facilities include about 170 Corvus oncepr microcomputer systems as well as various fher systems. The newly renovated Cullinone uilding, formerly Botolph, contains about as much mputer capability as in NU as a whole. Expected nrollment in the College of Computer Science, after This student is working on one of rhe 1 70 Corvus Concept microcompurer systems tioused in Cullinone Hall. the initial five year enrollment cycle completes itself, is P expected to be 1100 students. Groduate along with under-groduQte curriculums ore now being offered, with a master s program in the works. Kologhon, quoting o colleague, exploined com- puter scientists as the tool builders for other trodes. He believes, the role of rhe college is not to train com- puter technicians or technocrots, but to educate the next generation of informed and responsible techno- logical leaders. Being t he only college in America dedicated ex- clusively to the study of computer science, the College of Computer Science sees itself in o singular position to be o force of change. With o faculty thot has grown 300% in the lost two yeors, ond a dean os committed to the odvoncement of computer science as Kologhon, the college will become o positive ond welcomed example for change in the computer in- dustry. — Kim Moizner All photo s by William Scheidegger
