Department of Computational Sciences: Learning Objectives
Learning Objectives
- Engage in applications-oriented work and management of computer
systems, including software, hardware, computer networking and
network management.
- To prepare students for successful careers in software industry that
meet the needs of Indian and multinational companies.
- Describe and analyse the hardware, software, components of a network
and the interrelations.
- Communicate, using oral, written and computer-based communication
technology, as well as function effectively as an individual and a team
member in professional environment.
- Explain networking protocols and their hierarchical relationship:
hardware and software. Compare protocol models and select appropriate
protocols for a particular design.
- Develop solutions for networking and security problems, balancing
business concerns, technical issues and security.
- Pursue lifelong learning and continuous improvement of their knowledge
and skills in the design, development, and application of computer
systems in diverse industries with the highest professional and ethical
standards.
- Manage multiple operating systems, systems software, network services
and security. Evaluate and compare systems software and emerging
technologies.
- Understand the local, national and global issues related to the
development and applications of computer systems and to be considerate
of the impact of these issues on different cultures.
- Explain concepts and theories of networking and apply them to various
situations, classifying networks, analysing performance and implementing
new technologies.
- Identify infrastructure components and the roles they serve, and design
infrastructure including devices, topologies, protocols, systems
software, management and security. Analyse performance of enterprise
network systems.
- To inculcate in students professional and ethical attitude, effective
communication skills, team work skills, multidisciplinary approach, and
an ability to relate the issues to broader social context.
