Overview
Computer Science is one of three disciplines of study offered in the field of Information Technology. The study of Computer Science is intimately linked with the study of the modern digital computer, its design, operational characteristics and control. Teaching is concentrated principally in the areas of algorithm specification, data structures, … For more content click the Read More button below.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Implement, via programming in a modern language, correct, efficient, reliable and secure computational solutions
