<DIV>Please also check ISACA Model Curriculum for Universities <A href="http://www.isaca.org">www.isaca.org</A> you can pick a few areas there. Some Universties have adopted the Curriculum in their programs. The good news from ISACA is that they continue with research every time covering various areas and involving the global membership.</DIV>

<DIV class=h5><BR><BR>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"<BR><BR>Hello everyone,<BR><BR>Below is a brief description of the first (in Kenya) Bachelor of Science in<BR>Computer Science programme; it is currently under review:<BR><BR><BR>MOTIVATIONS AND OBJECTIVES<BR><BR>The School of Computing & Informatics (formerly Institute of Computer<BR>Science) of the University of Nairobi launched the Bachelor of Science<BR>(Computer Science) programme in 1992. The programme was aimed at meeting<BR>perceived development needs in Kenya, which it has done very well. Indeed,<BR>most of the computer science professionals in industry today have been<BR>developed through this programme. However, with experience in offering this<BR>programme and given changes in national development needs as well as changes<BR>in the fast evolving area of IT, it has become necessary to revise this<BR>programme.<BR><BR>This programme is part of a set of academic programmes
(Masters programmes<BR>in: 1) Computer Science, 2) Applied Computer Science and 3) Information<BR>Systems as well as PhD in Computer Science) at the School that have been<BR>motivated by the following needs at the national level:<BR><BR>(a) The need for Kenya to harness IT for increased productivity and<BR>effectiveness in all sectors of the economy for national prosperity.<BR>(b) The need for widespread socio-economic awareness (in Kenya) of the<BR>purpose and capabilities of information systems.<BR>(c) The need for Kenya to participate effectively in and reap maximum<BR>benefits from the global information economy.<BR>(d) The need to address the increasing demand for IT education in the world<BR>of work.<BR><BR>The specific objectives of the Bachelor of Science (Computer Science)<BR>programme are:<BR>(a) To present the theoretical foundations in computer science and to<BR>integrate these theories in a way
that gives the learner deep knowledge of<BR>computer science<BR>(b) To enable learners to use the knowledge gained to analyze, design<BR>and implement solutions to a wide range of real-world problems.<BR>(c) To develop learners who are practical and problem solving-oriented<BR>and capable of life-long learning.<BR>(d) To contribute to the production of computer science and<BR>information systems professionals required at the various levels of our<BR>nation?s industrial development and thereby be a partner in the industrial<BR>development of Kenya.<BR><BR>PROGRAMME REVIEW GUIDELINES<BR>A number of us in the KICTANET list have a stake in this programme; we are<BR>either current/potential employers/parents/guardians of these graduates or<BR>we could be current/past students of this programme or even policy makers in<BR>relevant sectors. We will appreciate if you could share with us
your<BR>general views on the following two issues:<BR><BR>1. The kind of Computer Science graduate the market needs; in terms of<BR>knowledge and skills<BR>2. The kind of courses you would recommend to be critical for this graduate<BR><BR>Sent by Muthoni Masinde (Lecturer, School of Computing and Informatics) in<BR>consultation with:<BR>Christopher Moturi (Deputy Director, School of Computing and Informatics)<BR>Tim Waema (Professor, School of Computing and Informatics)<BR><BR><BR>Thank you<BR><BR><BR><BR>-----------------------------------------<BR>This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner,<BR>and is believed to be clean.<BR><BR>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<BR> UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI IS ISO CERTIFIED<BR><BR>The University of Nairobi is committed to providing quality services to all<BR>its clients.
