Computer Science

This field of study fosters high level teaching and research in computer science and aims to meet the growing regional demand for persons skilled in various aspects of computing. One focus is on educating educators who can, in turn, effectively disseminate knowledge and skills to more people.

The core curriculum in computer science covers all aspects of computing, with the faculty particularly active in artificial intelligence, software engineering, networking and information systems. The program also endeavors to enhance teaching and research activities in computer architectures, object orientation, neural networks, multimedia and other rapidly-evolving areas in computer science.

The courses and research topics range from those addressing the practical problems of applications development, to those dealing with the abstract and philosophical issues of computer science and advanced computing. Students are also encouraged to take courses and conduct research in areas of Computer Science which interact with Information Management, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Systems Engineering, Telecommunications, Mechatronics and other fields covered at the Institute.
