BS in Computer Science

Computer Sciences include the study, analyses, designing, implementation and application of what can be automated. It evolved as a result of the vast information revolution, which made it hard to escape computing and computers. Our BS program in Computer Sciences concentrates on programming skills in a variety of paradigms, operating systems, networking and databases. Hands on experience with various software systems, C, C++, JAVA, Visual Programming languages, Unix, Windows and Network tools are an integral part of the program. In addition, the present curriculum covers Mathematics, Basic Sciences, Humanities, Social Sciences, and English language skills. The Computer Science program offers an opportunity for fieldwork outside the university.

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (PEO)

Fundamental Computing Knowledge: Our graduates will be proficient in the fundamentals of computing knowledge and will be read to apply that in professional roles in industry, academia, or a startup.
Ethical and Societal Responsibilities: Our graduates will be able to work professionally with dignity and integrity by taking into account the ethical and social concerns.
Communication Skills: Our graduates will possess effective oral and verbal communication ability in technical and managerial roles.
Leadership: Our graduates will excel in a leadership capacity within a team or in a business setting.
Continuous Improvement: Our graduates will be able to explore newly emerging fields in computing for her job role or academic purposes.

PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES (PLOs)
Computer Science program prepares students to attain educational objectives by ensuring that students demonstrate achievement of the following outcomes:
