Introduction
The Department of Computer Science at Allama Iqbal Open University is offering a four-year BS (CS) degree program that covers the recent trends in hardware, software, information and communication technologies. The program is designed to teach scientific and practical approaches to computation, its applications and the systematic study of the feasibility, structure, expression, and mechanization of the methodical procedures (or algorithms) that underlie the acquisition, representation, processing of information. Furthermore, it also includes teaching methodologies to enable learners so that they can design, development, operation, and maintenance of software systems & economical software by applying the principles and practices of engineering. The program aims to train students in all aspects of the software life cycle from specification through analysis and design to testing, maintenance, and evaluation of software products. It also spans a wide range, from its theoretical and algorithmic foundations to cutting-edge developments in robotics, computer vision, intelligent systems, bioinformatics, and other exciting areas.
The curriculum revision is normally based on the need of fast-changing disciplines, emerging technologies, and international standards. The Department of Computer Science has adopted the changes suggested by the HEC. The structure and other details of the program are confined to HEC with a focus on ACM and IEEE-CS recent development.
