INTRODUCTION
Computer Science is presently the fastest developing discipline in this age. In developed and developing countries, the computer is used in every aspect of life such as in industry, business, government and home - entertainment. In many countries, computers have become vital parts of the structure of many public and privately owned enterprises and are very useful in controlling operations and at the same time producing information of value for planning and operational purposes. So far, no industrialized nation has been able to make it without the use of computer. New trends in the evolutionary cycle of development call for a sustained effort at adapting the computer in a manner that best serves societal needs. The Ebonyi State University in recognition of this challenge created the department of Computer Science to lead the way in this all-important field.
PHILOSOPHY
Computer Science Department desires to train mission-oriented computer science experts who will upon graduation, become competent professionals able to relate their studies to practical real-life situations. This has to be so since the computer has become a potent force in our society and therefore requires responsible people with clear understanding of what constitute correct and gainful computer applications. The content courses described in this academic curriculum reflect both the core and compulsory courses recommended in the NUC Approved Minimum Standards and those other courses which the Department considers relevant and essentials at this stage for the achievement of her set objectives. The faculty common courses are described in the curriculum of the department offering the courses. For example, MAT 101 - Elementary Mathematics 1 which is common to the entire department in the Faculty of Applied Natural Sciences is described in the academic curriculum of the Department of Mathematics / Statistics. This academic curriculum may be reviewed from time to time, to reflect the University and Department goals, objectives, and philosophy, and the growth in the ICT industry in order to meet the needs of the society.
OBJECTIVES
The major objective here may be summarised as follows:
JOB OPPORTUNITY
Graduates of this Department are marketable. They can be employed in industries, Banks, Government ministries and parastatals, Educational institutions and private' companies. They can be self-employed by setting up their own computer outfits. In fact, they can be employed wherever computers are in use.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS:
The student who applied to read computer science is expected to sit for the following subjects in the University Matriculation Examination and must have credit passes in the under listed Departmental required subjects in SSCE or NECO.
COURSE CODING:
The following is the guide to understanding the course codes: Core(C), Required(R) or Elective (E) and General (G), this also guided by the stress codes for the courses offered in this department.
The three numeric digits in each course code represent the following:
1st digit =Year of study, 2nd digit = stress code and 3 rd digit = semester (odd for 1st and Even for 2nd semesters respectively.)
