It then became one of the departments under the School of Business and Management in When ITB was upgraded to a university in 2008, it became a programme area under the Faculty of Business and Computing. Recognising the rapid growth in the fields of dedicated computing systems and creative informatics, SCI was formed in 2014 and consists of three Programme Areas: Computer and Information Systems (CIS), Computer Network Security (CNS) and Creative Computing (CC). As part of the journey to meet the University s aspiration to become a ranked engineering and technology university, our mission is to produce graduates with exceptional life-longskills and relevant competencies through innovative teaching and research. Our school has successfully produced excellent programmers, software engineers and industrial leaders and we will continue to be the main drivers in areas of strategic importance nationally and globally. Our school is currently offering five undergraduate degree programmes and graduate degrees by research.

3 1 Creative Computing Programme Area The main aim of the Creative Computing programmes is to meet the demands of the creative industries for highly capable, multi-skilled graduates equipped with the fundamental knowledge of digital media and creative multimedia technology. The programmes have been developed with good industry links to ensure that our graduates are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to meet the ever-changing and dynamic demands of the creative industries. The programmes also inculcate research attitude in students by engaging them with newly-developed technologies in digital media and creative multimedia. The degree programmes consists of graphic design, computer graphics and creative computing modules with the emphasis on practical skills as well as relevant fundamental computing knowledge behind those practical tasks. Undergraduate degree programmes offered: Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Digital Media Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Creative Multimedia

7 5 Computer Network & Security Programme Area We would also be offering research degrees leading towards Master s by Research and PhD. The academic staff members in our programme area have adequate academic and industrial experience pertaining networking. Undergraduate degree programme offered: This Programme Area offers the undergraduate degree programme in Computer Network and security with an aim of providing students with the skills and knowledge to enable them to make practical and valuable contributions towards national development in the field of Networking. Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Computer Network & Security In addition to the academic degree programme, we are also focusing on research to solve issues pertaining to Networking & Security in Wired, Wireless, Mobile, Cloud, Internet of Things. Students in this programme area would thus have an opportunity to work on these research issues in their final year projects and contribute to the networking industry. The programme is designed in a way that graduates will be equipped with the necessary academic knowledge and also hands-on experience to solve some of the challenging issues in the Networking and Telecommunication Industry. At the completion of their study, students would also find themselves well-equipped with skill, knowledge and hands on experience to be employed in networking industry and towards pursuing higher degrees in Networking.

9 7 Graduates Profile Computing was very new to me but when I entered ITB, I learned a lot. First year was very challenging because it was all new to me, I was lost. But as time passed by, I am happy that I actually graduated with a Second Class Upper. What I am happy about is that some people looked down on me when I proposed my Final Year Project, but look! my project was the best project in my class I got the highest mark and received an award sponsored by AITI. Nur Nabilah Abd Rahman Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Internet Computing Cyberunai eservices System Developer Trainee When I first joined ITB, I didn t have any skill or knowledge on any programming language. The only thing that I knew about Computer was to use the browser to access the Internet and use the Office programme. Alhamdulilah and thanks to all the lecturers and also my friends in ITB, I have learnt a lot of new skills and knowledge during my time studying there. Now, doing programming is one of my daily tasks in the company where I currently work.
