DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING

Introduction

Perceiving the power and vitality of computer, the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at
Premier University was established in January 2002. The Department has created a broad-based program
dedicated to excellence in teaching, quality research on the leading edge of technology, and the
professional development of students. Computer Science and Engineering is a relatively young and
demanding discipline. The use of computers today ranges from activities that include video game as well
as extremely complicated dispensation of scientific data, weather forecasting and statistics etc.. Thirty
years ago the personal computer software industry barely existed. Today numerous computer scientists
are increasingly involved in the development of new software and hardware. A few decades ago physical
experimentation and mathematical analysis were the two fundamental paradigms in science and
engineering. Today, computer-based simulation and visualization is firmly established as a third. The field
of computer science & engineering can drive our nation’s economy – both directly (the IT sector itself)
and indirectly (all other sectors that are “powered” by advances in IT).

Chronology of Events

January 2002 : CSE Program was launched.

Design of the Program

The CSE curriculum consists of foundation, core, pre-engineering and elective courses. The foundation
and core courses are designed to equip the students with the basic knowledge and skills in the major
computer science and engineering areas. The pre-engineering courses provide the basic knowledge of
science and humanities. The Elective courses allow each student to select advanced courses according to
his/her particular interest in a given area of concentration.
Assignment of Credits

1. Theoretical Courses: One lecture hour per week, per course, per semester is equivalent to one credit.

2. Lab Courses: Credits of the laboratory courses is half of the lab class hours per week per semester.

Project/Thesis

The students who will choose the Project/ thesis topic have to conduct with the respected teacher
assigned by the department.

Research

The computer lab brings together faculty, researchers, and students from computer science & engineering
in a broad program of research, development, and experimentation. Our members pursue innovations for
computer technology used in everyday human activities to highly sophisticated computers. The two main
driving forces in our research are excellence and relevance to society. Our members and alumni/ae have
been instrumental in developing innovations for short and long term information technology
improvements. We believe that academic research should also have a strong industrial impact and that
the technology is transferred from academia to the industry. Numerous ideas developed by research
members and alumni/ae have been published in many well-known journals and conference proceedings.

Degree Requirements

The CSE degree requirements are:

a. Completion of minimum 160 credit hours,

b. Passing of all courses individually,

c. Completion of project/thesis/internship with a minimum grade of ‘C’.

Other Activities

CISCO Certified Network Associate (CCNA)

This curriculum presents a comprehensive overview of networking; from fundamentals to advanced

applications and services. It is based on the top-down approach to networking that is popular in many
colleges and universities. The course emphasizes concepts and skills required to design networks, while
providing opportunities for practical application and hands-on experience by teaching students how to
install, operate, and maintain networks.
Pre-requisite: Any student successfully completed HSC or any equivalent program and skilled in basic
computing can apply for the admission in CCNA program. Graduates with computer skill and IT
professionals will be given preference.

end of the course delegates will be conversant with VoIP technology and understand the role of VoIP in
their or their customer's company and marketplace. An understanding of the delegate's company
network would be an advantage or that of a client company.

EEE 443: VLSI Design

This course is an overview to modern logic design. The classes will move from viewing MOS transistors
as switches of discussing how to validate complex hardware software systems that are in design today.
The class will also look at a number of critical VLSI design issues in more detail, including fabrication and
layout, timing, power minimization, test and debug.

CSE 477: Computer Interfacing

This course will concentrate on the design and use of digital interfaces, including memory, serial, parallel,
synchronous and asynchronous interfaces, hardware implementations of interrupts, buses, input/output
devices.
CSE 415: Human Computer Interaction

This course covers a broad range of important topics within Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and the
implications for the design of interactive systems. It will cover the current literature and the “known and
unknowns” about HCI and design. The design process is centered on the user, is based on a multi-
disciplinary approach through a synthesis of computer science, cognitive science and psychology and
utilizes analytical and empirical techniques to assess, predict and evaluate whether a design meets the
user’s requirements.

EEE 477: Digital Signal Processing

This course is an introduction to One- and N-dimensional signals and systems, Sampling theorem,
Discrete-time Fourier transform, discrete Fourier transform, fast Fourier transform, z-transforms: stability
and minimum phase signals/systems, Linear filtering of signal: Time domain: Difference equations and
convolution, Impulse invariance, bilinear transform, FIR filter design, 2D filter design, Statistical signal
processing: Stochastic signals: correlation functions and power density spectra, Optimal filtering: Wiener
filters, Adaptive filters: LMS and array processing.

CSE 481: Contemporary courses of Computer Science & Engineering

These courses are designed to provide advanced and modern concepts of Computer Science &
Engineering to the students that will help and enable them to prepare for immediate employment in
industry or for graduate study in computing. These courses also help student so that they can build on
this foundation and continue to function effectively in future environments of computer technology
taking full advantage of its capabilities.

Lab courses

Each of the lab courses are designed to enable the students to acquire the practical knowledge so that
they can implement their understanding in professional environment and also for the research purpose.
The stuffs of the courses are based on the corresponding theory courses so that students can have a clean
understanding of the full course.
