Department of Computer Science
About the Department
The department of Computer Science (CS) is
the most diverse department within the College. The Discipline
of Bachelor of Engineering in Software Engineering is first of
its kind to be offered in Pakistan. It is designed to meet the
huge unsatisfied demand for professional software engineers,
both locally and internationally. It equips the talent with
software and hardware skills necessary for success in the modern
computing environment. The heart and soul of Military College of
Signals is our faculty and staff, who are highly qualified and
dedicated to their profession. The faculty has educational
background and experience from across the globe thus the result
is a vigorous mix of people, ideas, and programs dedicated to
enhance the quest for knowledge.
Aim
To Conduct Bachelor of Engineering in Software Engineering ,
Master of Science in Computer Sciences and Ph.D Programs Under
NUST (National University of Science and Technology ), with the
objective to produce competent Software Engineers and researchers
to face the technological challenges of the 21st century
Area of Emphasis
The CS department focuses on conducting the Bachelor of
Engineering Degree course in Software Engineering, consisting of
136 credits to be completed in 4 years. Last six months are
utilized for the completion of 7 credits of project work. The
undergraduate and Masters program emphasize subjects like
Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Computer
Graphics, Database Systems, Computer Networks and Operating
Systems.
System of Study
The CS department offers Bachelor of
Engineering in Software Engineering,
Master of Science in Computer Software
Engineering and Ph.D
programs. A great deal of research and teaching takes
place that encompasses theory, technology, practice and
applications of software in computer-based engineering systems.
To accomplish its cherished mission, CS department places equal
weightage on the dissemination of knowledge (teaching), creation
of knowledge (research) and the application of knowledge
(service). The excellent teacher to student ratio in the
department ensures that instruction, research and development
are integrated to make the institution innovative and
responsive. The undergraduate degree program spans over 4 years
to be completed in 8 semester’s duration. Students are tested
through quizzes, assignments, midterm and final examinations
during a semester and a relative grading system is adopted to
gauge their performance. To provide hands on experience,
students undertake semester projects and write technical
research papers as their semester work. To strengthen their
theoretical skill students are given practical exposure of
industries by arranging visit to industries and by inviting
guest speakers.
The Bachelor of
Engineering in Software Engineering (Computer and
Network Security) curricula has being developed to respond to the
increasing needs for advanced studies in the areas of
information security, cryptography, computer and network
security and forensic sciences. Due to the technical nature of
this program it is well suited for students who are strong in
mathematics and related sciences. The unique blend of active
learning, lab based courses, and opportunities for independent
exploration at the advanced levels will make this program a
leader in future Sciences disciplines. It needs not to be
emphasized that foundation of strong Doctoral/PG programs are
built on the strong UG Program. The students being received here
for Doctoral and PG programs of Information Security Department
come from diverse educational backgrounds. Availability of hard
core expert at UG level will not only enhance the quality of
research but will also help in preparing best professionals
required for future needs of data handling and security related
issues.
The culture of the department is instrumental in giving students
technical versatility and a driving intellectual curiosity to
carry out applied research leading to the development of science
and technology. CS department provides a blend of curricular and
co- curricular activities for the students. Software Society and
Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) chapters are in place,
which provide a forum to enhance the intellectual appetite of
inquisitive minds and creative outlooks of the students.
