The Department of Information Engineering Technology (IET) at the NSU aims to produce qualified technologists and skilled manpower by focusing on contemporary and essential knowledge and technical skills through collaborations with the government, industry, and other stakeholders. It will adopt a holistic approach to strengthen learners’ communication skills, ethical behavior, and lifelong learning.

To produce the computer science graduates that are expert, skilled, and have an ability to solve the challenging problems with high morale.

The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) for the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BS CS) is to produce graduates who will

PEO 1: Able to understand, diagnose, apply core principles and practices of computing to solve the problems.

PEO 2: Acquire knowledge and develop skills to improve their abilities to contribute to the computer science domain.

PEO 3: Practice societal responsibilities, legal, and ethical framework.

PEO 4: Continuous improvement to prepare students for jobs/higher studies in computer science and related fields.
