The main objectives are:
1. To create in students the awareness and enthusiasm for Computer Science and its capabilities in our information age.
2. To involve the students in an intellectually stimulating and satisfying experience of learning and studying.
3. To provide a broad and balanced foundation in Computer Science knowledge and practical skills.
4. To develop in students through an education in Computer Science a range of transferable applicable skills of information technology in all aspects of human endeavor.
5. To generate in students an appreciation of the importance of Computer Science in an industrial, economic, technological and social context.
6. To provide students with knowledge and skills base for further studies in computer science or multi–disciplinary studies involving Computer Science and Information Technology.

DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE LABORATORY TECHNOLOGY

In a scientific investigation, there is an attitude that demands of one to explore his environment or the unknown, develop the relevant hypothesis in order to establish its acceptability or otherwise. This type of investigation can only be carried out in a laboratory. The science Laboratory is a setting or place to try out specific scientific information and test principles and theories in science. It is thus a place or room where scientific experiments are carried out. It is appropriately equipped with various items that are required in the urge to provide answers to intriguing questions in science.
