Computer Science
Sub-disciplines
Computer Science mainly deals with software and software systems including theory, design, development, and application. Computer scientists usually design and analyze algorithms to work out programs and study the rendition of computer hardware and software. The foundation of computer science has been drawn from mathematics and engineering and integrates methods from queuing theory, probability and statistics, and electronic circuit design.
Computer Science courses enable students to gain expert knowledge in the theories, methods, practices, and strategies of computer science. They gain a better understanding of a variety of programming languages, computing architecture, construction, engineering as well as design. They are also well aware of computer software, tools, packages, and systems. Students also develop an awareness of and ability to respond to rapid technological changes and adapt them to their needs. In addition, they also gain a wide range of transferrable skills such as excellent numeracy skills, teamwork and leadership, creative thinking, time management and organization, communication, and strong problem-solving, analysis, and decision-making skills.
