Greetings,

I have been looking at the syllabus taught in the Computer Science (CS) faculty and find that it is superior to many many other universities, including the many more 'well known' universities and colleges, which I will not name. smile.gif In fact, I have asked a few folks to consider enrolling their kids here if they decide to do CS.

However, I find there is not much talk in the forum or on the net with regards to the course being offered by the university. Either people are too afraid to take up a really good and challenging CS course here or people do not understand enough of what CS is all about or the university is not known for its CS course.

Someone from this forum care to shed some enlightenment on this issue?

Many thanks.

I think it depends very largely to the marketing strategy of the university. Compared to CS, engineering and business can rake in a lot of students, thereby more attentions are given. You can see this thread is mostly populated by students from those two faculties.

On the other hand, I think CS courses are often overlooked, due to the mass amount of IT courses out there, and with most of the education shoppers not knowing the difference between IT and CS.

I think one of the forumers here did CS before. Maybe you want to check the first page to see who's there.
Yeah..unfortunately, the mass amount of IT/CS courses out there are feeding off gullible parents and students and at the same time, killing the IT industry with graduates who do not know much about what IT really is.

This then creates the current situation whereby the industry is lacking skilled IT people with lots of IT graduates, but, not meeting the great IT demands of the industry. A very sad state of affair.

But... I am getting off topic. . . smile.gif
