1 Computer Science Introduction Computer science (CS) is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications. CS is a fast-moving field that brings together many disciplines, including mathematics, programming, engineering, the natural sciences and linguistics. UKM s Faculty of Information Science and Technology (FIST) was a pioneer of computer science in Malaysia as FIST is the first ICT faculty in Malaysia and continues to lead its development since her establishment in To date, UKM is among the top 100 varsity in Asia (Times Higher Learning) and top 3 research university in Malaysia. FIST s CS program is broad and deep giving students the desired skills to solve problems and to create future technology as a computer scientist that specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems. Every year, the program will be evaluated and up to date in order to cover new modern computer science, along with the underlying theory and foundations in entrepreneurship, law, ethics and business. UKM s Bachelor study programs in Computer Science is divided into four modules: Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Science and Intelligent Systems. Computer Science modules focused on the software and computer system module menjums the hardware aspects. The Information Science focused on the management of information and knowledge while the Intelligent Systems modules are focused on the development of intelligent systems. CS students also develop practical skills, such as programming (in various languages, eg Java, C/C++, Prolog), database administration (e.g SQL, MySQL, litesql, etc.), mobile application development (eg Android) and hardware systems (eg microprocessor). There's a wide range of career options or job opportunities open to CS graduates that combine computing with other skills and capabilities such as the students soft skills (i.e. communication, managing, social skills, etc. ). Employment for computer scientists is expected to grow much faster than average compared to all other occupations and job prospects are excellent. FIST s CS specialties include: computer security, databases and data mining, graphics and gaming, networking, and software engineering. In addition, students can complete a summer school and finishing school program, which prepares students for the industry. This program includes hands-on training session conducted by the main industry player such as IBM, CISCO, INFOSys and Prestariang.

2 Objective The Bachelors degree in Information Technology (Computer Science) programme aims to produce graduates: Graduates that have the understanding about the basic and theoretical knowledge of Information Technology as IT engineer. Graduates that have been equipped with programming skills in solving various type of problems and environments. Graduates that have gained good experienced in designing and developing large scale software applications and tools. Graduates that are able to show professional, ethical and apply entrepreneurships characteristics that fulfill the IT requirements. Graduates that are able to adapt working in the multidisciplinary groups and to lead an IT organization.
