Overview
Computer Science concentrates on the theoretical foundations of computation and computer technology. It incorporates ideas from many other disciplines, including mathematics, engineering, humanities, management sciences and graphical design and has a close affinity with electronic communications as illustrated by the Internet and World Wide Web. The aim of the program is to provide you with a sound grounding in the fundamentals of computer software development (programming) and the tools and applications that modern computer scientists use.
Vision
Our vision is to become a center of excellence in Computer Science education and
research.
Mission
The department of Computer Science is committed to the following goals:
-
To provide high quality Computer Science education to its students.
-
To develop the ability to use Computer Science knowledge for the solution of
local/global problems.
-
To impart the capacity to its students to become lifelong learners, critical thinkers,
problem-solver and excellent communicators.
Program Educational Objectives
The aim of the program is to provide you with a sound grounding in
the fundamentals of Computing. The objective of the
program is to groom students in such a way that they can:
-
Technically Sound: Graduates possess excellent knowledge of CS fundamentals and are
well aware of the state of the art.
-
Excellent Communicator: Graduates can communicate properly written as well as oral
and possess excellent listening skills.
-
Lifelong learners: Graduates have acquired the love of learning above anything else.
-
Well Rounded Personality: Graduates are thorough professionals with a thinking mind,
breadth of knowledge besides the domain of expertise, respectful to others and
trustworthy by the community.
