Bachelor of Applied Computing (Computer Networks Track)

Bachelor of Applied Computing (Computer Networks Track)

 

 

Introduction:

The present age has witnessed the increase of computer networks nationwide in buildings of institutions and among branches of institutions, as well as worldwide via internet. As a result, the Bachelor of Applied Computing (Computer Networks Track) has been designed to qualify the learners with the basic and advanced skills to work in fields of networks locally, which includes operation of networks, its design, implementation, maintenance, administration, security and assessment.

 

Vision:

Bridging in the gap between theory and application and enabling the program to be a model of distinction in applied education.

 

Mission:

Implementation of the highest standards in applied education, which allows the preparation of qualified graduates for the labor market in an environment which encourages learning and intellectual innovation, as well as best use of technology in engineering and natural sciences programs.

 

Goals:

  1. Providing students with a profound understanding in basic and advanced fields in computer networks.
  2. Qualification of students with suitable application and specialization skills to fulfill the local and regional needs after graduation.
  3. Adoption of application projects to offer solutions to technical problems, especially on the local level.
  4. Consolidation of channels of partnership and co-operation with public and private sectors, which helps to adjust the quality of college graduates and requirements of labor market.
  5. Sponsorship of research and application interests of students.
  6. Enhancement of behavioral aspects to succeed in accommodation with challenges of realistic professional life.

 

 

Program Learning Outcomes:

Upon completion of this program, graduates are expected to achieve the following leaning outcomes:

  1. Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.
  2. Design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.
  3. Design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.
  4. Identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
  5. Apply the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.
  6. Knowledge of contemporary issues.
  7. Recognize the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.
  8. Use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
  9. Function on multidisciplinary teams.
  10. Apply and respect professional and ethical responsibility.
  11. Communicate technical information effectively.
  12. Prepare reports and improve communication skills.

 

 

Study System:

  1. Students need to complete the requirements of the study plan which includes 142 credit units that could be completed in four academic years, where each year has two study levels.
  2. English is the language of study in all specialization courses and basic sciences courses.
  3. Each student should collaborate with some of his classmates to accomplish a graduation project under supervision of two academic supervisors (a principal supervisor and a secondary one).
  4. The program requires field training in official institutions to apply academic study to practical field.
  5. A student may choose collaboration training in substitution of four courses in the eighth semester.
  6. The study system in the college follows the study regulations in the unified rules of universities in the system of the council of higher education and universities and regulations.

 

 

 

Admission and Registration Mechanisms in the Preparatory Year and the conversion:

  1. Students are admitted with the general acceptance in the preparatory year like other university students. The college and the program are selected based on the student's desire and successfully completed the requirements of the preparatory year. As for the non-Saudi students shall be accepted into the Bachelor of Applied Computing (Computer Networks Track) since his admission to the university.

 

  1. A student can transfer to Bachelor of Applied Computing (Computer Networks Track) when the preparatory year (path of scientific, engineering and health) is completed. Common courses that are successfully completed in other programs can be equalized.

 

  1. Saudi students can be converted from the Bachelor of Applied Computing (Computer Networks Track) to any other university Bachelor program according to the guidelines approved by the councils of each college that student is intended to convert.

 

 

Program Tracks:

The Bachelor of Applied Computing (Computer Networks Track) has two divisions:

1. Courses and Summer Training

2. Courses and Cooperative Training

Total number of credit hours to finish each division (142 credit hours)
