Information Technology: Application Software, B.TECH.
Major #1502
Enterprises need information to create competitive advantages in today’s dynamic business environment. Business people require tools like the Internet, the World Wide Web, laptops, smart phones, cloud computing, wireless technology, multimedia, social media, and e-commerce. Typically, business people do not need to understand how the technology works; they simply want it to do the job for them. Information Technology (IT) builds on the foundation of Computer Information Systems, but it has a broader scope. IT seeks to facilitate the business processes of the organization. The information technologist not only knows how technology work but is equally interested in people and their applied use of technology to increase productivity.
Your educational experience will be supported by a robust information technology infrastructure that support the latest software applications for game development, gaming, graphics, animation, web development, databases, voice and data communications, programming, server administration, multimedia development, virtualization, cloud computing, and information security. Students receive practical hands-on experience in the design and development of computer systems and applications using relevant programming languages, tools, and methodologies in an excellent academic lab environment.
