11.1.1.3 RATIONALE OF PROGRAMME Computer scientists are required locally, nationally, and internationally in the scientific, business and manufacturing industries. 11.1.1.4 CAREER OPPORTUNITIES Computer scientists devise new ways to use computers. Progress in the Computer Science areas of networking, database, and human-computer-interface enabled the development of the World Wide Web. Now Computer Science researchers are working with scientists from other fields to make robots become practical and intelligent aides, to use databases to create new knowledge, and to use computers to help decipher the secrets of our DNA. They develop effective ways to solve computing problems. For example, computer scientists develop the best possible ways to store information in databases, send data over networks, and display complex images. Their theoretical background allows them to determine the best performance possible, and their study of algorithms helps them to develop new approaches that provide better performance. Computer science spans the range from theory through programming. While other disciplines may produce graduates with more immediately relevant job-related skills, computer science offers a comprehensive foundation that permits graduates to adapt to new technologies and new ideas. 11.1.1.5 EXIT LEVEL OUTCOMES The qualifying learner should have the ability to: 1) Work in a broad range of positions involving tasks from theoretical work to software development and demonstrate: a) an intellectual understanding of, and an appreciation for, the central role of algorithms and data structures; b) an understanding of computer hardware from a software perspective, for example, use of the processor, memory, disk drives, display, etc. c) those fundamental programming skills to permit the implementation of algorithms and data structures in software; d) those skills that are required to design and implement larger structural units that utilize algorithms and data structures and the interfaces through which these units communicate; e) an understanding of software engineering principles and technologies so as to ensure that software implementations are robust, reliable, and appropriate for their intended audience. 2) Understand the possibilities and limitations of what computer technology (software, hardware, and networking) can and cannot do. There are three levels: a) an understanding of what current technologies can and cannot accomplish; b) an understanding of computing’s limitations, including the difference between what computing is inherently incapable of doing vs. what may be accomplished via future science and technology; c) an awareness of the impact on individuals, organizations, and society of deploying technological solutions and interventions. 3) Understand the concept of the lifecycle, including the significance of its phases (planning, development, deployment, and evolution), the implications for the development of all aspects of computer-related systems (including software, hardware, and human computer interface), and the relationship between quality and lifecycle management. 4) Understand the essential concept of process, in at least two meanings of the term: a) process as it relates to computing especially program execution and system operation; b) process as it relates to professional activity especially the relationship between product quality and the deployment of appropriate human processes during product development.
