Overview

Computer Science Department

Overview

The program focuses on the mathematical and theoretical foundation of computing. English will be the language for teaching specialized courses and basic sciences. Students together with some of their colleagues will participate in the implementation of a graduation project during their final year of study. Students can choose between two main tracks of computer science program:

(1) Software Engineering;

(2) Computer Security

Student Outcome:

The program has documented measurable outcomes that are based on the needs of the program’s constituencies. The program enables students to achieve, by the time of graduation:

(a)   An ability to apply knowledge of computing and mathematics appropriate to the discipline.

(b)   An ability to analyse a problem, and identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution

(c)   An ability to design, implement and evaluate a computer-based system, process, component, or program to meet desired needs

(d)   An ability to function effectively on teams to accomplish a common goal

(e)   An understanding of professional, ethical, legal, security, and social issues and responsibilities

(f)    An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.

(g)   An ability to analyze the local and global impact of computing on individuals, organizations and society.

(h)   Recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in, continuing professional development

(i)     An ability to use current techniques, skills, and tools necessary for computing practices.

(j)     An ability to apply mathematical foundations, algorithmic principles, and computer science theory in the modeling and design of computer-based systems in a way that demonstrates comprehension of the tradeoffs involved in design choices.

(k)    An ability to apply design and development principles in the construction of software systems of varying complexity.
