Objectives
This is a full time 4-years undergraduate programmer leading to the award of IT in Bachelor science in Information Technology ( IT).
The Bachelor science in information Technology programmer aims at training students to become computer engineers that have the knowledge, skills and ability of designing, implementing and maintaining computer software, hardware as well as information systems that are needed today. It is concerned with the design and construction of computers and computer-based systems. It is a broad discipline that addresses the relationship and interaction between software and hardware in solving real engineering problems. It involves the study of hardware, software, communications, and their interactions. Specifically, the programmer is designed to:
- Equip students with fundamental and advanced concepts of computer systems and their application.
- Equip students with hands-on experience in computer systems design and implementation.
- Impart effective problem-solving skills.
- Impart key principles and skills in professional ethics and entrepreneurship to enable the students to practice as good and responsible computer engineering and IT professionals and start their own businesses through an incubation process.
- To equip students with the knowledge to develop appropriate systems an duplications software systems based on given requirements.
- Equip students with learning, research, and effective verbal and written communication skills.
