Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science and Technology

Computer algorithms serve as the cornerstone of advanced AI systems, such as robots and software/hardware-based security. Algorithms are employed to solve computing challenges in both research and industry. Algorithms play a crucial role in both AI and security systems. The Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science and Technology (Honours) program aims to provide strong foundations in mathematics and computer science. This prepares graduates to adapt to quickly emerging algorithms and computing technologies.

Graduates are required to create unique techniques for implementing computing algorithms or investigating new uses of computer technology. The program teaches them about computer systems, including hardware and software, using engineering concepts. Graduates are prepared to tackle computer difficulties in corporations, financial institutions, and organisations facing the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0). As enterprises transition to IR 4.0, the demand for computer science graduates grows continuously.
