About Department of Computer Science & Engineering

 

Department of Computer Science & Engineering

Chittagong Independent University has been offering B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) degree under School of Science and Engineering (SSE) since its inception. The SSE, previously named School of Engineering & Computer Science (SECS), traces its root back to 1993 when Independent University, Bangladesh (IUB) was founded and its outer campus in Chittagong was emerged. Later in 2013, CIU was established and the journey of SSE took off with new goals. Today B. Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering degree continues to be one of the major programs of SSE aiming to produce world class Computer Science and Engineering graduates.
