Department of Computer Science & Engineering
Department of Computer Science & Engineering got down to its journey along with that of School of Applied Science in 1992, the time from which till today it heaves the strength with non-breaking waves. This department has brought numerous graduates into reality that are speeding up not only Bangladesh but also the whole world in various IT fields by their skill that they have gathered from this department.
CSE department mainly offers a four-year undergraduate course in Computer Science & Engineering where courses are designed in such a way so that students graduating from this department have a balance of theory and practical skills to prepare them for the highly competitive workplace. Now a team of full-time faculty members and staff are working ceaselessly under the smashing leadership of Prof. Md Masum, Head, Dept. of CSE, beneath his eye of perfection and strictness.
Besides the four-year undergraduate program, this department is also successfully running some other activities like Post-graduate Diploma in Information Technology (one-year program financed by the Ministry of Science, Information & Communication Technology), Certificate in Computer Application (two-term program jointly operated with Computer Center), CISCO Certified Network Program (one-year program in collaboration with UNDP and CISCO), and DCSA program operated jointly with Bangladesh Open University.
The department has successfully run some research activities in collaboration with different universities at home and abroad. Some of them include Bangla Computerization, Natural Language Processing, Optical Character Recognition, Parallel Processing, Cluster Computing, CodeWitz, Asia Link Project, and Cellular Phone & Computer Interfacing.
It has vibrant student activities such as participation in ACM Programming Competitions, organizing Computer Fairs, and publishing a Departmental Research Journal. The Software House is another dazzling side of the department, aspiring to provide students a professional working environment that sharpens their software development skills.
It was first started with 7 students and some young energetic teachers but now many students with highly motivated teachers are working incessantly to put it at the pinnacle among all software development initiatives.
