Be privileged in the job market through the software engineering degree from IIT
View(s):With Technology literally ruling the 21st Century the need for systematic Software System Development and maintenance together with a method to ensure its reliability and efficiency is paramount.
The BEng (Hons) Software Engineering offered at the Informatics Institute of Technology (IIT- www.iit.ac.lk) is one that is offered by the University of Westminster in the UK. It therefore has a global recognition. The very fact that IIT is the Institute to provide this degree is an added advantage for those looking at career growth options both in Sri Lanka and in an International arena. This is because at IIT the degree is not just taught but students are fully immersed in the practical aspects of the subject and industry through their lecturers – who are big names in the Software Engineering field as well as the placement year experience that is mandatory for the IIT students which is supported by the multinational and the Sri Lankan blue chip companies
Apart from the practical expertise advantage, students at IIT also benefit from a course structure that has been designed by industry experts keeping in mind not just the theory but the practice as well. The degree structure begins with a systematic well spread study of Programming Methodology, Computer Systems Fundamentals, Information and Data Modeling, Web Technology, Software Development Principles, Software Engineering Principles, Mathematics for Computing and Communication and learning skills. These subjects form the basis of the degree programme and cover a wide spectrum of the relevant areas of study.
With this foundation, students are then well equipped for Object Oriented Development, Algorithms and Data Structures, Professional Practice in Computer Science, and Human Computer Interface Design.
The knowledge gleaned from these subjects are sufficient for the students to go into their third year placement where they are able to see their subjects come alive in practical application. The experience they receive serves them well in the fourth year especially when completing their final year project. They also learn Requirements Engineering, Formal Specification, Computer Systems Security, and Software Quality performance and testing. Apart from these subjects, students are able to choose optional subjects during their second and final year so that they are able to better hone their knowledge in areas where they show better aptitude.
Apart from academic knowledge, IIT also places great importance in Soft Skill Development, Team work, Motivational projects, Presentation skills and other professional attitudes and interpersonal skills.With a dedicated team of lecturers and administrators, IIT remains the number one choice amongst students for Information Technology Degrees.
IIT invites students after A/L’s or O/L’s to come and witness the difference that the Informatics Institute of Technology (IIT) can make for them with its expertise and experience since 1990.
