The Computer Science programme (CS) was launched by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering in 1978. The primary goal of the Computer Science programme is to prepare graduates to understand the field of computing and engineering with a global view of both the academic discipline and profession. The programme strives to achieve this through broad and coherent coverage of the computer science disciplines by exposing our students to the basic theories as well as to advanced high-level concepts and system integration skills. We also expect our students to be sympathetic to ethical, professional and societal issues associated with information technologies. The programme prepares our students to be independent thinkers who possess good problem-solving skills, the ability to learn independently and the desire for life-long learning.
Programme Objectives
At the end of the course of studies, students will have
