Faculty of Computer Science
“A good programmer is someone who always looks both ways before crossing a one-way street.”
Recent developments in computer hardware, software and communication technologies have offered new exciting opportunities and challenges for creation of innovative learning environments for Computer Science and its curricula design. One of the key elements here is to prepare the graduates for the future. The challenge of getting all newly emerging technologies incorporated in to the curriculum is becoming pivotal for the effectiveness of curricula. There is a need for curricula structures that are really able to grow as we put new demands on them. The curriculum is required to provide integration of all components and the foundations that allow accessing all of the new knowledge and technology to fulfil the vision of future.
Basic intention of an Faculty of Computer Science is to develop the student’s critical professional thinking and intuition. The curriculum must be structured to provide a balanced mixture of theory and practical experiences at foundation and advance levels to make the graduate capable of sound professional decisions. As a result the graduate should be able to assume responsible positions in business, government, and education at the research, development, and planning levels. The Program should also provide an excellent foundation for further formal learning and training. The Computer Science curriculum is expected to provide environments to put into practice, the principles and techniques learnt during the course of implementation of academic Program.
“Computer Science is a science of abstraction – creating the right model for a problem and devising the appropriate mechanizable techniques to solve it”
Computer Science & Information Technology are the study of the theory, experimentation, and engineering that form the basis for the design and use of computers. It is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications and the systematic study of the feasibility, structure, expression, and mechanization of the methodical procedures (or algorithms) that underlie the acquisition, representation, processing, storage, communication of, and access to information.
Computer Science (CS) is the application of a systematic, disciplined and quantifiable approach to the design, development, operation, and maintenance of software systems. It is in fact the practice of designing and implementing large, reliable, efficient and economical software by applying the principles and practices of engineering. The program aims to train students in all aspects of software life cycle from specification through analysis and design to testing, maintenance and evaluation of software product.
