Message from the Chairperson

The Department of Computing and Informatics within the School of Science and Applied Technology aims to establish itself as a premier department for teaching, research, and community engagement in Computer Science and Information Technology. This goal is pursued through strategic planning, efficient systems, and processes that harness innovative ideas to generate dynamic outcomes. Recognizing the pivotal role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as a catalyst for socio-economic development, our department is committed to integrating ICT seamlessly into various economic models. We acknowledge the versatility of ICT, providing practical solutions such as Health Information Systems (HIS), Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. These solutions find applications in diverse areas such as smart farming, healthcare, process digitization, and more. Consequently, our department takes the lead in training learners who are poised to assume roles that contribute to the development and implementation of these innovative solutions.
