Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE)

Brief History

The department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) started its

journey as the department of Computer Science and Information
Technology (CIT) in 1998. It has always proactively responded to the
ever changing technological market demand. At beginning, the course
curriculums were organized to include more Information Systems and
database courses. The department soon included web based application
development courses to meet the demand of the Internet age. When the
telecommunication industry was booming and demanded human
resources skilled in mobile and telecommunications and it responded to
the trend. However, it was felt that solutions involving hardware and
software are the key to drive the market which was established by the
technology giants. Hence the department was transformed as Computer
Science and Engineering (CSE) in 2013 to emphasize on engineering
aspects of computing.

The product based technology industry are bringing new solutions

involving hardware and software; however the domination in the market
share mostly depends on the strength of the ported software and its ability
to connect with the other solutions. Therefore, the need for software
engineers is ever growing. To produce good software engineers, the
department of CSE has started a separate bachelor programme namely
B.Sc. in Software Engineering from 2017. Software are shipped to many
different platforms: computers, mobile, web, manufacturing devices,
avionics, medical devices and everywhere. The requirements, design,
architecture and technologies are so diverse that a bunch of new courses
are included in the syllabus of software engineering bachelor’s
curriculum.
5 General Information

Currently, the department has 28 full-time faculty members along with 8

part-time faculty members from other reputed universities. In addition to
this, 12 faculty members are on leave for higher education in abroad.
There are about more than 520 undergraduate and more than 30 graduate
students in the department.

Vision and Mission of the CSE Department

Vision

To be an outstanding provider of future leaders and workforce in

Computer Science and Software Engineering.

Mission

The missions of the CSE department are:

• To impart quality education in the undergraduate and post

graduate levels.

• To provide balanced curriculum that focuses on theory and

application of computer science and software engineering to the
dynamically changing technological world.
• To excel in research and innovation integrating the faculty
knowledge and student skills.

• To prepare students with necessary communication skills

pertaining to successful careers in leadership positions.

In this era, software is crucial to the operation of computers. It has real

life implications in many industries – including medical,
communications, business, military, aerospace, scientific, and general
computing. Using principles and techniques of computer science,
engineering, and mathematical analysis, software engineers empower
computers with innovative applications to perform tasks smarter, faster,
and better. Therefore, IUT started to offer Bachelor of Science in
Software Engineering under the Computer Science and Engineering
department from the academic year of 2017-18.

Through this programme, IUT will provide students with a strong

foundation in software engineering using a combination of Classroom
Study, Laboratory Sessions, Software Project Labs and Design Projects.
The programme blends engineering principles, computing skills, project
leadership, and software construction to equip students with a
comprehensive understanding of the field and to prepare graduates for
the workforce or future study.

The programme is designed around a set of core courses that introduces

the fundamentals of software engineering, followed by a broader range
of courses. Students could choose to augment their core with more
Software Systems and Security oriented courses (e.g., Software
Environments, Security Risk Analysis and Management), Data Science
courses (e.g., Data Mining, Big Data and Large-scale Computing,), Web
Services and Applications oriented courses (e.g., Web Programming,
User Interface Design and Evaluation), or Graphics and Game related
courses (e.g., animation for computer games, Artificial Intelligence for
Games). Each of these areas is covered by a dedicated set of core and
extended courses. In short, by providing a careful balance between theory
and practice, the programme will prepare students for central software
positions in industry, government organizations, and institutions where
software engineering has become a key activity.

The unique characteristics of the newly introduced software engineering

programme can be summarized as follows:

1. The curriculum is designed in such a way so that the students can

get, besides the regular theory and laboratory classes, the
opportunity to develop software through separate software lab
projects individually or in a group.

2. The curriculum includes two capstone courses, namely Design

Project 1 and Design Project 2, where the students are involved
in the development of a real life innovative project by integrating
the knowledge of multiple areas.

3. The students need to take four selected elective courses in their

senior years. Currently the selected elective courses are designed
for four specialized areas of Software Engineering, namely
network and system, software security, web development, and
game development.

4. The programme includes a 9.0 credit extensive Internship module

where the students will be sent to software industries for about
five months to equip them with the real life industry experience.

Assessment and Grading Systems

Distribution of Marks

The performance of a student in a course is evaluated based on a scheme

of continuous assessment, mid-term and semester final examinations. For
theory courses, this continuous assessment is made through a set of
quizzes, class participation, and assignment. The assessment in
B.Sc. in SWE 12

laboratory/sessional courses is made through observation of the students

and viva-voce during laboratory hours, and quizzes. The distribution of
marks in the continuous assessment, mid-term and semester-final
examinations is as follows.

Class participation 10%

Quizzes and assignments 15%
Mid-term 25%
Semester final 50%

Letter Grades

Letter grades and corresponding grade points are awarded in accordance

with the provisions shown below.
Equivalent
Grade Numerical Markings
Grade Point
A+ 4.00 80% and above
A 3.75 75% to below 80%
A- 3.50 70% to below 75%
B+ 3.25 65% to below 70%
B 3.00 60% to below 65%
B- 2.75 55% to below 60%
13 General Information

C+ 2.50 50% to below 55%

C 2.25 45% to below 50%
D 2.00 40% to below 45%
F 0.00 below 40%
Assignment of Credits

Each theory or lab course is assigned a weekly contact hours. The credit
hours a course is directly related to the weekly contact hours of the
course. The credit hours of a theory course is equal to the weekly contact
hour of the course, the credit hours of a lab course is half of the weekly
contact hours of the course. One contact hour refers to a 50 minute class
in each week of a semester.

Grade Point Average

The overall academic progress of a student in a semester is assessed by

calculating grade point average (GPA). The grade points obtained by a
student in a course is the product of the credit hours of the course and the
equivalent grade point corresponding to the letter grade obtained by the
student in that course. Grade Point Average (GPA) is the weighted
average of the grade points obtained in all the courses passed/completed
by a student.

Attendance Requirement

A student is required to attend at least 85% of the classes held in each

course of a semester. The students failing to attend the requisite
percentage of classes in any course will not be allowed to appear at the
Semester Final Examinations in the semester. In special circumstances,
the Vice-Chancellor on the recommendation of the Head of the
Department may condone 10% of the required attendance on grounds of
serious illness of the student on production of certificate by a Registered
Physician, or reasons acceptable to the Vice-Chancellor.
