according to the new curriculum of NCEAC 2023 and HEC
Undergraduate Education Policy 2023.
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science - BSCS
Computer science is the study of the theory, experimentation, and engineering that form the basis
for the design and use of computers. It is the scientific and practical approach to computation and
its applications and the systematic study of the feasibility, structure, expression, and
mechanization of the methodical procedures (or algorithms) that underlie the acquisition,
representation, processing, storage, communication of, and access to information [WordNet
Princeton definition].

Computer Science is the application of a systematic, disciplined and quantifiable approach to the
design, development, operation, and maintenance of software systems. It is the practice of
designing and implementing large, reliable, efficient and economical software by applying the
principles and practices of engineering. The program aims to train students in all aspects of the
software life cycle from specification through analysis and design to testing, maintenance and
evaluation of software products.

Computer Science spans a wide range, from its theoretical and algorithmic foundations to cutting
– edge developments in robotics, computer vision, intelligent systems, bioinformatics, and other
exciting areas. The overall scope of Computer Science may be viewed into the following three
categories:

 To develop effective ways to solve computing problems. For example, Computer Science
develops the best possible ways to store information in databases, send data over
networks, and display complex images. The theoretical background offered by Computer
Science allows determining the best performance possible, and their study of algorithms.
It enables to develop new problem-solving approaches that provide better performance.
 It devises new ways to use computers intelligently and effectively. Progress in the areas
of networking, database, and human-computer-interface came together as a result of the
world-wide- web, which changed the entire world. Now, researchers are working to make
robots that are practical aides and demonstrate intelligence, databases that create new
knowledge and, in general, use computers to do new things.
 It deals with the design and implementation of software systems. Computer Science
provides training and skills for the successful implementation of software systems that
solve challenging programming jobs. Computer Science spans the range from theory to
models, design and programming. Computer Science offers a comprehensive foundation
that permits graduates to adapt to new technologies and new ideas.

Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

We aim to achieve the following PEOs at the end of the BSCS program.

 PEO-1: Graduates apply their in-depth Computer Science knowledge and technical skills
in developing software, mobile, or web applications in real-world settings.
  PEO-2: Graduates practice ethics and responsibility in their profession and act as
informed citizens in making a socio-economic impact on society.
 PEO-3: Graduates demonstrate lifelong learning skills in Computer Science and allied
disciplines.
 PEO-4: Graduates demonstrate leadership and work as good team players in
communicating and collaborating in diverse teams and organizations.

Student Outcomes (SOs)

We aim to attain educational objectives by ensuring that students demonstrate achievement of
the following outcomes (derived from Graduate Attributes (GA) defined by Seoul Accord (SA)
www.seoulaccord.org).

 Academic Education: To prepare graduates as computing professionals.

 Knowledge for Solving Computing Problems: An ability to identify, formulate,
research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated
conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering
sciences.
 Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, research literature, and solve complex computing
problems reaching substantiated conclusions using fundamental principles of
mathematics, computing sciences, and relevant domain disciplines.
 Design/ Development of Solutions: Design and evaluate solutions for complex
computing problems, and design and evaluate systems, components, or processes that
meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural,
societal, and environmental considerations.
 Modern Tool Usage: Create, select, adapt and apply appropriate techniques, resources,
and modern computing tools to complex computing activities, with an understanding of
the limitations.
 Individual and Team Work: Function effectively as an individual and as a member or
leader in diverse teams and multi-disciplinary settings.
 Communication: Communicate effectively with the computing community and with
society at large about complex computing activities by being able to comprehend and
write effective reports, design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and
understand clear instructions.
 Computing Professionalism and Society: Understand and assess societal, health, safety,
legal, and cultural issues within local and global contexts, and the consequential
responsibilities relevant to professional computing practice.
 Ethics: Understand and commit to professional ethics, responsibilities, and norms of
professional computing practice.
 Life-long Learning: Recognize the need, and have the ability, to engage in independent
learning for continual development as a computing professional.

- - -
Course Outline:
Students individually or in groups (of not more than three members) should request a faculty
member (who can supervise not more than five projects) of their choice to supervise them in the
Capstone Project (Final Year Project), in which they will have to develop a desktop
software/mobile application/web application based a unique idea (not previously done by
students in the department). Students should register themselves for such a project at the
beginning of this semester with the BS Course Coordinator, who will decide in collaboration
with the Head of the Department, whether the project is worth doing and suggesting changes if
any. After registering for the project, students must ensure their presence when the concerned
supervisor calls upon them. A supervisor must maintain an attendance record and progress report
of the student and must produce it upon inquiry by the Head of Department and BS Course
Coordinator.
At the end of Capstone Project-II, students should have completed the whole thesis and all the
required functionalities. The thesis must be submitted by the student not more than two months
after the commencement of the 8th semester exam.
