The Program
Objectives:
The Information Systems Engineering program
aims to meet the demand for well-qualified human resource in the
21st century which is named the Information Era. The Electronic
and Computer Engineering programs lead to expertise in the
electronics and computer hardware and software respectively. The
program covers theory and its application in information and its
gathering, computing, storage, management, communication,
modeling and evaluation. The program is built around the
established foundations of Electronic Engineering which includes
strong basic sciences, mathematics, signals and systems, signal
processing, multimedia, electronics, communications and
computers fields.
The Information Systems Engineering has
emerged as an engineering branch on the basis of information
sciences, technology and systems. In addition to the theoretical
foundations, application of the integrated systems for the
information processing is covered. The principal aim in the
Information Systems Engineering program is to educate and train
engineers for the industry and the academia.
The Facilities:
The Information Systems Engineering Program
is planned as the second program in the Electrical and
Electronic Engineering Department where both programs benefit
from the same excellent academic and technological
infrastructure which includes:
·
well qualified academic staff
members (8 Professors, 5 Associate Professors and 5
Assistant Professors)
·
a highly developed, updated and
well established curriculum
·
common courses with the
Electrical and Electronic Engineering program which is
“substantially equivalent” [by ABET (Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology)]
to similar programs in the USA.
·
10 classrooms equipped with multimedia
presentation facilities, one modern amphitheater,
one library, 10 general laboratories and 7 computer
labs
·
a modern building which houses
student clubs and provides diverse opportunities
·
Information Technologies
Research and Development Center, Technology Development
Center, Advanced Technologies Research and Development
Institute and PROMER
(Student Project Development Center) are located in the same
building providing multi-
disciplinary interaction.
Difference in
Education
The teaching in the Information Systems Engineering program is
practiced in modern classrooms where technological facilities
are used to allow efficient interaction between students and
instructors. These technological facilities include
well-equipped laboratories, multimedia equipped computer
laboratories/classrooms, and courses with Internet based course
web pages. Students are continuously assessed in the program,
and every student in the department is assigned an instructor
who serves as the academic advisor. Additionally,
instructor-student interaction is kept at a high level outside
the classrooms. Every student is expected to complete a 40
working day summer training program besides his/her course load
in order to get the Bachelor of Science degree. Students
attending the summer training gain experience and many of them
are employed by the same companies after their graduation
through personal contacts established during the summer training
period. Additionally, every student has to complete a final year
capstone graduation project. |
