Programs

To provide excellent education with knowledge and required skills those are necessary for the students to succeed in the highly competitive local, regional and global ICT markets.

To advance knowledge in CSE including theoretical, experimental, and applied computer science and engineering through nationally and internationally recognized research by faculty and students; and

To provide service to the University, the community, and the profession as well as support society by participating in and encouraging information and technology transfer.

The Department of Computer Science and Engineeringwas established on January 31, 1992, as one of the pioneering departments of IUBAT, keeping in mind the rapid and widespread use of computers and information technology in all sectors of economy both at home and abroad for which highly trained computer specialists were required. The Department started with the Diploma in Computer Science (DCS) program with the technical support and co-operation of Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Bangkok, and degree program with Assumption University (ABAC), Bangkok. Initially, the department was located at its Dhanmondi campus and later, in January 2005, IUBAT has moved to its permanent campus.

The department offers Certificate, Diploma and Bachelor degree programs and also it conducts foundation and specialized courses for other departments of the University. Currently, it is working on its Master’s degree program.

Diploma in computer science and Engineering is a program of 20 months where students are exposed to Basics of Computers, Computer Architecture, and software like C, C++, VB, LINUX, Database Management Systems, Web Technology, Multimedia and the latest .NET software.

In addition they are also exposed to PC Hardware, Maintenance and Networking. On completion of Diploma in Computer Science, there are plenty of career opportunities in the IT industry. The students can go for further studies like the BCSE course and onward. They can find openings as software engineers, system developers and programmers.

Computer Science and engineering department has a wing, which is called Computer Education and Training Center (CETC). The major role of this center is to offer various training programs like Basic Computing, Graphics Design, and Software Development etc for both IT and Non IT personnel.

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering is highly equipped with tangible and intangible resources to ensure appropriate teaching-learning and research activities that includes laboratory, computer hardware, software, firmware, books, research materials, audio visuals and so on.

The department has got highly proficient software and hardware engineers and professionals for sharing technical and professional knowledge in the mentioned areas of computer sciences and engineering. Moreover, the department derives benefit from IUBAT’s collaborative linkage with 62 universities throughout the globe and most of these universities help the modern teaching-learning process bringing in the changes taking place over the all continents.

IUBAT CSE is always nurturing innovation and academic excellence in ICT sectors. It mostly focuses software and software systems which includes theory, design, development, and application. IUBAT CSE also nurture the students to learn design and analyze algorithms to solve programs and study the performance of computer hardware and software which is intensively laboratory oriented. As IUBAT CSE is believing in hands-on experience, each and every semester the department is upgrading and improving the laboratories. The laboratories are: Physics Laboratories, Digital and Analog Electronics Laboratories, Microprocessor and Interfacing Laboratory, Data Communication and Computer Networks Laboratories, Programming Laboratory, Software Engineering Laboratory etc.

Students of IUBAT University not only focus on education but they also participate on research, software development and programming contests. This opportunity gives student an experience of real life projects developments and teamwork. Some key developments and researches are given below:

The BCSE program is designed to give full exposition to participants on computer science and engineering emphasizing on theory and laboratory based research and development in the areas of computation, algorithm, data structure, computer elements, artificial intelligence, digital and logic design, compiler construction, computer architecture and organization, industrial automation, robotics, circuit analyses, signal processing and systems, database systems, electronics, human-machine interface, interactive system engineering, operating systems, programming fundamentals, software engineering, computer networking, wireless communication, fault diagnostic and tolerant system, parallel and distributed computing, digital control engineering, microprocessors, microware engineering, programming languages, electric and electronic machines, power electronics, process control and instrumentation, computer graphics, data acquisition systems, internet and web programming, hardware engineering , PC interfacing and process control.

IUBAT assesses fees for students on credit hour basis. The rate of other charges such as admissions, semester fee, other activities fees and refundable library and laboratory deposits in details have been provided in the Financial Information section of this Bulletin. This section also provides information on financing arrangement including merit-scholarships at the point of admission, cash rebate, in-course fee waiver scholarship, different scholarships, on-campus work opportunities, financial assistance in the form of grants, installment payment, deferred payment student loan etc.

The standing IUBAT policy to cater to needs of all qualified students who aspire for higher professional education regardless of the income level of his/her family through appropriate educational financing arrangement under the concept Knowledge Based Area Development: A Step Towards Community Self-Reliance applies to BCSE program.

The Financial Information section also contains information on tuition fees for international students, including special fees for students from SAARC countries as well as Least Developed Countries (LDC) of Asia and Africa.
