Program Educational Objectives
The basic intention of an academic program in Computer Science is to develop the student’s critical professional thinking and intuition. The curriculum is structured to provide a balanced mixture of learning experiences to make the graduate capable of sound professional decisions. As a result the graduate is be able to assume responsible positions in business, government, and education at the research, development, and planning levels. The program also provides an excellent foundation for further formal learning and training. The Computer Science curriculum is expected to provide environments to put into practice, the principles and techniques learnt during the course of implementation of academic program. The following summarizes some key characteristics for consideration as a basis of a successful academic program in Computer Science:
PEO 1. Graduates will be able to exhibit and apply comprehensive knowledge in the Computer Science domain as proficient professionalsionals
PEO 2. Graduates will be able to communicate, develop and manage their work responsibly as individuals and in teams
PEO 3. Graduates will be able to demonstrate professional attitudes and ethics in consideration of societal obligation and computing practices.
PEO 4. Graduates will be able to learn emerging technologies and continue professional development and lifelong learning.
