BS (Computer Science) Program |
|
| |
The BS program offered by the department focuses on producing high quality computer scientists with a broad vision and strong ethical values. In order to produce graduates with a well-balanced personality, general awareness of social issues and basic reasoning capabilities, students are also required to take, in addition to core and elective courses of the discipline, a number of general courses in the area of humanities, social sciences, religion and ethics, languages and communication skills. The overall program provides a highly conducive environment and an excitement driven approach that encourages creativity to accomplish results.
The recent years have witnessed a rapidly growing role of computers in our lives. This trend has made it necessary for computer professionals to assume a more specialized role. Therefore, keeping in view the market needs and future trends in computer industry, the Department of Computer Science offers the following two specializations within the BS (Computer Science) program.
1- Software Engineering (SE)
2- Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
The curriculum for BS CS program contains 7 elective courses (21 SCH). The students, who want to specialize in one of the above areas, are required to take at least five courses (called specialization electives). If a student does not take five or more courses from a specialization stream, then he/she will be awarded BS CS without any specialization.
BS CS (Software Engineering)
The Software Engineering (SE) specialization under the umbrella of BS Computer Science program has been introduced to produce the software engineers to meet current challenges in production of high quality software within cost and schedule. This specialization will enable the students to begin a career in software development, project management, quality management, enterprise application development, business & system analysis, architecture, design, testing etc.
BS CS (Information and Communication Technology)
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a highly rewarding specialization which will enable the students to develop critical understanding of ICT problems and deploy innovative and coherent ICT solutions and services. The program not only emphasizes on the theoretical aspects of ICT but also prepares the students to gain hands-on skills and experience they need to prosper in their careers. This specialization will lead the students to the areas of information system deployment and management, network administration, system administration and IT management etc. |
