Objectives and Outcomes of the Program
Program Educational Objectives are broad statements that describe the career and professional accomplishments that the program is preparing graduates to achieve.
Program Outcomes are narrower statements that describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the skills, knowledge, and behaviors that students acquire in their matriculation through the program.
The Department of Computer Engineering has a formalized and continuous process of assessing student achievement of program outcomes and educational objectives. The results of these assessments provide the necessary foundation for curriculum review and actions towards improving the programs.
1. Program Educational Objectives for Computer Systems and Software
|
Within three to five years of obtaining a bachelor's degree in Computer Systems and Software at Kazakh-British Technical University, we expect our graduates to achieve all or most of the following milestones in that they will be: |
|
- experienced, technically competent and successful professionals in the field of application software and system development with a solid foundation in computer science and hands-on skills in creating and integrating software systems which will enable them to apply a range of different approaches to tackling complex technical problems in a range of industrial settings; |
|
- productive members and leaders of application software and system design and development teams, capable of functioning independently, professionally and effectively as they apply the conceptual knowledge and engineering skills gained during their stints at KBTU as well as later on in their careers in various software and system development related projects in their respective workplaces; |
|
- technology pioneers who make qualified and well-informed decisions in solving complex technical problems whose solutions are significantly beneficial to Kazakhstan, and perhaps who even go on to become entrepreneurs by successfully launching startups that add value to the economy and provide employment opportunities to others, thereby benefiting society at large; and |
|
- lifelong learners who in a formal sense will go on to enroll in, and successfully graduate from, more advanced graduate and professional education and certification programs that are nationally and/or internationally recognized in engineering, science or business, and who, more informally, are and will remain wise enough to diagnose, analyze and remedy the gaps or deficits in their own knowledge bases over time by gleaning what they can from the environment on their own. |
2. Program Outcomes for Computer Systems and Software
|
Outcome 1: To Understand To understand the mathematical and physical foundations of Computer Systems and Software and how these are used in the process of design and programming of computer systems. An understanding that knowledge of computer systems and software should be applied in an ethically responsible manner for the good of society.
