Welcome to the department of Information Technology. It is my pleasure that you are here to know about our department. Our department focuses on building graduates who can do better for themselves and for society. To achieve this, we have dedicated faculty, technical and moral courses, and well-equipped classrooms and laboratories. We offer two different degrees in the Computer Science department:
BS in Computer Science and BS in Information Technology.
Let’s talk about some emerging needs that motivate us about selecting the Information Technology field as our career. The modern society we are in has information as a key player. The information Technology field emphasized the use of computers, networks, and the infrastructure to not only create, store, share and process the information but also to do it securely. In this regard, I want to mention the revolutionizing fields of Ubiquitous and pervasive computing which emphasize the need for computers to be available everywhere, anytime, and diminish to become part of the environment. Computers are absorbed in our society in such a manner that sometimes we did not feel their presence for example CCTV cameras and their recordings, smart fridge, smart TV, etc. Information Technology cares about this electronic data generated every day from various sources in order to get better knowledge decisions for society.
The objective of our department also is to produce graduates who can not only work in various areas of modern life where computing is required but also they can do research in Computing for a better tomorrow. Our curriculum follows the National Curriculum Revision Committee (NCRC) guidelines to offer courses that can help students to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge in various areas of information technology including Wireless Networks, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Mobile Computing, Web Engineering, Computer Networks, and Programming. The curriculum also has the provision of elective courses which are updated from time to time to support the offering of the latest trends in the field of information technology education, application, and research.
Special emphasis is given to final year projects where students can apply the earned knowledge and skills to address and solve a promising problem in the area of Information Technology. Inter-disciplinary projects are very much encouraged.
I pray to Allah Almighty that the department always flourishes by producing graduates who can serve society in a better way.
