Department of Computer Science and Engineering
Computer Science Engineering is now recognized as one of the leading departments with infrastructure and facilities to match the very best in the country. The department remains committed towards its mission, which is twofold. One is to provide students with the fundamental knowledge and problem solving skills in Computer Science required for a fulfilling career. The other goal is to create and disseminate knowledge to improve Computer Science research, education and practice.
Deals with design, implementation, management of information system of both software and hardware process. While Information Technology deals with the use of computers and computer software to convert, store, protect process, transmit, and retrieve information, Computer Science is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications. The difference between Computer Science and IT is that while CSE deals with the design and development of new software and hardware parts of computer, IT aims at designing, developing, implementing and managing computer-based information systems including software applications and computer hardware.
When computer and communications technologies are combined, the result is Information Technology, or ‘InfoTech’. A computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems.
The Department offers a four-year B.E. programme in Computer Science and Engineering in eight semesters. All programmes are accredited by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and Affiliated to Anna University, Chennai.
The Undergraduate Programme offered by the Department are:
B.E. in Computer Science and Engineering(4 years: 8-semesters)
B.E. in Information Technology (4 years: 8-semesters)
