Message from the Dean
Computer Science could be viewed as a discipline supported by the pillars – Hardware, Software, Systems Software and the Theory behind computing. Though started in the middle of 20th Century, this discipline has seen rapid changes and the fastest growth ever since mankind has started. Currently, Computing has become inseparable from Human life.
It has found a prominent place in our day to day life and we are struggling to cope with it. The mission of Computer Science & Engineering department is to impart knowledge to students and researchers to pave a solid foundation in problem solving using computers.
The faculty has been started in the year 2007 and as of today, it offers an undergraduate program B.Sc of computer science. The faculty is augmented with well qualified Faculty with rich teaching and industry experience and has adequate Laboratories. Apart from teaching, our faculty members have published research papers.
Some of our Alumni have grown to great heights and they constantly interact with the faculty. We strive to provide students the necessary ambience to embellish their knowledge and skills to achieve their long term goals.
Eng. Abdulkadir Aidid.
To become a global leader in education and research in the field of Computer Science & technology for societal benefit.
The mission of the faculty is to – Develop high quality Computer Science & technology graduates with technical and professional skills. – Foster research to solve real world problems with emerging technologies and social consciousness.
OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAM
Computer science degrees deal with the theoretical foundations of information and computation, taking a scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications. Computation is defined as any type of calculation or use of computing technology that follows well-defined models (such as algorithms and protocols) in the practice of information processing (which in turn is defined as the use of these models to transform data in computers).
The main aim of this program is to create quality professionals and research fellows who can work in every sector of the world by implementing the technology of computer systems and software. The course provides students a great deal to enter the real world where ambitious Computer Science professionals can showcase their skills as Software Developer, System Integrator, and System Analyst among other job profiles.

Career opportunity for computer science undergraduate
A computer science undergraduate degree can open up a wide range of career opportunities in technology, software development, and related fields. Here are some common career paths for computer science undergraduate students:
Software Developer/Engineer: Software developers design, develop, and maintain computer programs and applications. They work in various domains, such as web development, mobile app development, game development, and more.
Data Scientist: Data scientists analyze and interpret complex data to help organizations make data-driven decisions. They use programming and data analysis skills to extract valuable insights from data sets.
Systems Analyst: Systems analysts work on understanding an organization’s needs and then design information systems or software solutions to address those needs. They bridge the gap between business and technology.
Network Engineer: Network engineers are responsible for designing, implementing, and managing an organization’s network infrastructure, ensuring that data can flow smoothly and securely between devices.
Cybersecurity Analyst: Cybersecurity analysts work to protect organizations from cyber threats and attacks. They design security measures, monitor for vulnerabilities, and respond to security incidents.
Database Administrator: Database administrators (DBAs) manage and maintain databases used by organizations to store and retrieve data. They ensure data integrity, security, and optimal performance of databases.
DevOps Engineer: DevOps engineers bridge the gap between software development and IT operations. They automate and streamline the software development and deployment processes to improve efficiency.
Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Engineer: AI/ML engineers develop algorithms and models that enable machines to learn and make predictions. They work on applications like natural language processing, image recognition, and recommendation systems.
Software Quality Assurance (QA) Engineer: QA engineers test software to identify and report defects, ensuring that software meets quality standards before it is released to users.
Product Manager: Product managers are responsible for the development and success of a product or software application. They work closely with cross-functional teams to define the product’s features and functionality.
