The vision of the School of Computer and Information Technology is to produce graduates who can compete academically, technically and professionally with the best in the country.

To this end, the School places special emphasis on all areas which have an impact on the provision of quality education, namely, quality of intake, curriculum development, selection of faculty, teaching methodology, examination system and co-curricular activities.

The School is conscious of the fast changing market requirements, which emanate from new systems and technologies. In particular, the Internet and mobile technologies have completely changed the working of the business and commercial world. The School has introduced new programmes and updated existing ones in response to these changing needs. For instance, a new programme, namely, BSc. (Hons.) in Management of Telecom systems has been introduced from the last academic year. Moreover, the curriculum of the Software Engineering programme has been brought in line with the recommenda-tions of the National Computing Education Accreditation Council (NCEAC), Pakistan.

Further, the School has initiated an evening

programme from current academic year to cater to the needs of working students. The curriculum of the evening programme is exactly the same as that of the morning program except that its duration is five years, compared to four years for the morning program. Currently only the MBC and SE programmes are offered in the evening mode. By virtue of being positioned in a Liberal Arts university, the School of IT offers its students an opportunity to develop a well rounded academic profile. Students enrolled with the SCIT can take up any number of electives from a diverse suite of courses which are offered by the other six schools of the University.

The School offers four programmes of study, as enumerated below:

1. BSc. (Hons.) in Management and Business Computing (MBC)2. BSc. (Hons.) in Finance and Business Computing (FBC)3. BSc. (Hons.) in Software Engineering (SE)4. BSc. (Hons.) in Management of Telecom Systems (MTS)

The teaching-learning model followed by School of IT greatly emphasizes practical work to enforce understanding of theoretical concepts. To achieve this objective, the lab is designated as an integral part of the learning environment.

Each bachelor degree programme is built up around five streams of study. In each semester, students take up one course from each stream to complete their study suite. As they progress along to higher semesters, they are offered higher level courses from these streams. In the concluding semester elective courses are available. Each programme has a mandatory final year project, which provides students with an opportunity to put into practice what they have learned in their initial years.

INTRODUCITON

Modern Telecom Systems have their roots in electronics, but many technologies particularly those related to the Internet, computer networks, radio and fiber optics have contrib-uted to give Telecom systems their complex and hybrid shape. The advances and phenom-enal growth of the telecommunication industry, besides generating jobs for telecom engineers, have created a new specialization in management. The incumbents of this specialization will have a good knowhow in the technical side of Telecom coupled with skills in management and business.

Cognizant of the above stated market need, the School of IT has introduced the Manage-ment of Telecom Systems Programme. This programme has all the essential ingredients of a business management programme topped up with a series of courses in telecommunica-tions. In addition, courses related to manage-ment of Telecom services and products are made part of the study plan.

MTS graduates will be able to play a role in the Telecom industry by working more effectively in managerial positions in compari-son to simple management graduates.
