Computer Science & Engineering Department
Bachelor Of Science In
Computer Science & Engineering
(B.Sc. In CSE For Diploma Holders)
Program Objectives and Goal
The increasing needs for Computer engineers in worldwide job markets need not to be overemphasized. To keep pace with the advancement in Computer Science & Engineering and provide emphasis in fulfilling the needs, it is essential that efforts are made both in the public & Private sectors to develop human resources in this particular field in Bangladesh.
- The prime objective in establishing the Computer Science & Engineering Department at the AMBAN is to make a concerted effort towards achieving the goal to provide quality education of 3 years duration at the undergraduate level.
- To give undergraduate programs’ students a rigorous and comprehensive academic training on both the fundamental and advanced aspects of Computer Science & Engineering (CSE).
- To make provisions for research and development and dissemination of knowledge in the field of Computer Science & Engineering.
A student in CSE must not only have a sound basis in the fundamental of Engineering but also should be aware of socio-economic problems of the country. Therefore, courses in Science, humanities, economics and management are also included in the curricula. The last two semesters will offer the students a number of alternatives to choose from and to specialize in a particular field. Theory and sessional work shall be supplemented by Project/Thesis work, seminars and visits to relevant research and industrial organization..
Duration of the Program:
The duration for B.Sc. in Computer Science & Engineering program will be 3 years divided into 10 semesters.
Credit-hour
Three credit hours are assigned to a theory course i.e. there are three hours lecture in a week. A class period for theory courses will have a minimum duration of 50 minutes.
One credit of lab course will have a minimum of 24 -hours of actual lab works per semester and each lab class will have a minimum duration of 2 -hours.
Degree Requirement
a) Completion of mimimum140 credit hours.
b) Passing of all courses individually and maintaining a minimum CGPA of 2.50
Grading System
Letter grading will be made to assess students’ performance. The grade will be assigned on the overall evaluation of a student’s performance on the basis of semester final examination, midterm exam., case studies, tutorial test, term papers, assignment and class attendance in aggregate and whatever is applicable for an individual program. The teachers responsible for the course will determine Grades/GPA. The final result will be prepared by cumulating the grade point average over the courses. The UGC approved common grading system is adopted for assigning a letter grade and grade point. This is given in the following table:

|
** |
“I” grade is given to students who have fulfilled the majority of the course requirements but have been unable to complete the rest. The student is not required to register for the course in the next semester. |

Sessional and Lab Courses :
The assessment in sessional/field work courses is made by observing the student in the respective lab classes and also by taking viva-voce, written Tests and practical tests. Distribution of Marks
Twenty percent (20%) of marks of a theoretical course shall be allotted for continuous assessment, i.e. attendance quizzes, home assignments, class tests and class participation. The rest of the marks will be allotted to Midterm and Term Final examinations. Distribution of marks for a given course is as follows:
|
Attendance and Observation |
