Department of Information Technology

Overview:

The Department of Information technology at RWU aims at providing education and training at all levels to contribute to the national pool of IT engineers who can meet the demands of the industry and the academia. The Bachelor program primarily focuses on training students who would assume the role of developers, designers, and architects of computing systems. The prospective practitioners in the field of Information Technology are provided with the necessary skills to construct reliable computing systems by applying scientific, engineering, and management skills, while the prospective researchers are put through rigorous training in the research methodologies. However, the design, the development, and the research activities are structured so as to supplement each other. Currently, the Department offers only a program named Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT).

Vision:

The BS (IT) aspires to be a respectable seat of learning at the global level by providing solutions of indigenous and global challenges of the IT domain through collaborative learning and research.

Mission:

BS program is designed to equip students with a broader and deeper understanding of the theory, design and applications of computers to make students capable enough to implement their novel ideas and prepare them to have successful careers in industry and government.

HoD Message:

Information Technology is the most affluent discipline that brings new trends in computer science and IT. It equips the students with the most demanding skills and enables them to excel in their professions. Our workforce is highly qualified in all areas of IT including modern programming, telecommunication and networks, software engineering, social informatics, robotics, multimedia, information security, image processing, distributed databases, and grid computing. We are committed to providing the utmost level of quality in teaching, research, and community rendezvous as we attempt to enhance the profound and positive impact of Information Technology on our world in the future. We as a team aim to take the department to heights of success and glory and prepare for the forthcoming challenges.
