DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE

Computer science has become an essential part of our daily life activities due to the transformation of the digital age and workforce. To be well-educated global citizens in a computing-intensive world and be prepared for careers in the 21st Century, it is imperative that students have a clear understanding of computer science principles and practices. The computer science discipline includes algorithms and data structures, computer and network design, modelling data and information processes, and artificial intelligence.

Objectives:

To produce future technology leaders in computer science, mainly focusing on bridging the gap between industry and academia and producing graduates that are competent in technical skills and have strong communication skills and teamwork abilities.
Promote a culture of research and student involvement through continuous industry-academia collaboration.
Develop state-of-the-art technologies through continuous research and development to help industries in cost savings, rapid product development, process improvements, and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
To provide high quality, comprehensive educational programs and services; educational and training opportunities adaptable to changing needs.
To contribute to the growth and development of the computer and information age.
