CETC

Computer Education and Training Center (CETC)

Background

Computer and information technology are playing a vital role in development efforts of the modern society and this role is being accomplished through extensive use of computers in research and development activities concerning most branches of human knowledge, viz, science, engineering, education, medicine, agriculture, government, industry and business. But, efficient use of computer needs appropriate manpower and environment.

In Bangladesh, besides environmental difficulties, the availability of expert knowledge, trained personnel, technical back-up and information sharing are major constraints to appropriate use of computers and development of information technology. Although the total investment in computers is substantial in the context of the limited capital base, the prevalence of computers are somewhat limited in the country. Computer capacity utilization in Bangladesh is reported to be very low in comparison to regional and international standards, even if the appropriateness of use is disregarded. In other words, in Bangladesh, real benefits from the computers are not being derived.

To improve this situation, IUBAT University established a Computer Education and Training Center (CETC) in 1991. The CETC is geared towards developing a healthy computer culture and promote information technology. The CETC is a component of IUBAT University.

In this effort, CETC is received specific technical support and cooperation from the Regional Computer Center and Division of Computer Science of the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) Bangkok, Thailand and also support from other universities collaborating with IUBAT University.

OBJECTIVES

The major objectives are development of knowledge, skills, technical capabilities and resource base to facilitate promotion of productive use of computer and information technology. These are being realized through teaching, training, research, consultancy and information sharing.

ACTIVITY DOMAIN

The activity domain of CETC is gradually growing to cover education, training, applied research, consultancy and documentation. The present Islamic Development Bank-Bangladesh Islamic Solidarity Educational Wakf (IDB-BISEW) educational domain encompasses a Diploma in Computer Science and Engineering (DCSE). There are also short training programs in the areas of programming languages, use of software packages, operating systems, hardware maintenance and trouble shooting, Web applications, server and database administration, network installation and maintenance. Applied research contributes to knowledge base development in Information Technology (IT) in general and computer applications in particular. The consultancy and information sharing are basic support services to the professional and user community.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS

The major educational program is a 5 semester Diploma in Computer Science and Engineering with specialization in software engineering, hardware maintenance and trouble shooting, networking and Web applications. The program philosophy emphasizes practical orientation with sufficient theoretical underpinning as obverse to root learning. The diploma program emphasizes the following orientation:

adequate knowledge on computer software and hardware
mathematical skills required for the understanding and use of computers
adequate training in programming to make possible the writing and documenting programs
training in systems analysis and design
application of systems software and operating system
capability in software design and development
capability to maintain hardware and manage trouble shooting
capability to handle affairs related to networking
ability to design, maintain and hosting WebPages as well as e-commerce.

A DCSE graduate is developed to be able to fit for employment in software engineering, systems design, programming, e-business and database management, Software Development. Besides, they have good prospects for employment as teacher-trainer. The credits earned can also be applied towards further study in IUBAT University and similar institutions within the country and abroad.

TRAINING PROGRAMS

Poor computer performance in many organizations indicates that most computer users and professionals have inadequate knowledge of using computers effectively and economically. To get the proper and beneficial use of computers in business and other activities, there is no alternative to well planned and organized computer training. As computers have a major effect on employment, productivity and competitiveness in the real world, CETC is accepting the challenge of offering systematic, well planned computer training by highly educated and devoted faculty.

Training programs qualify participants for certificates and most programs involve 60 contact hours spread over 4-6 weeks on part time basis and 2 weeks on full time basis. Training covers programming language courses as well as packaged program courses in modular form. The short courses are available for Programming C, C++ (Object Oriented Programming), JAVA/J++, WebPage Designing and Animation, Macromedia Flash, PhotoShop, Linux, SQL, ORACLE and popular packages like MS-Office and SPSS.

APPLIED RESEARCH

Research agenda includes areas like management information and decision support systems, system analysis and design, specialized application of computer in business, impact of computers on management, society, employment, productivity, quality of life, privacy, etc. Research will also cover computer use to establish a benchmark situation in the country. The center will also respond to research offers that may be available from within the country and outside.

CONSULTANCY SERVICES

The introduction of computers in both public and private sector organizations in Bangladesh as well as in the region is steadily growing. This gives rise to the need for independent consultancy services, which will define system requirements and supervise implementation. In addition to system familiarization training, a measure of the effectiveness of on-going training also demands consultancy services. Project development involves requirement of analysis and definition, system prototype development, implementation, support and training of the users and support personnel. CETC puts efforts to develop an expertise base for offering independent consultancy services.

DOCUMENTATION AND INFORMATION

To overcome the limited documentation and information availability in the country, the CETC will develop a unit on documentation and information. Besides setting up a library, the unit will serve as a reference base and promote information sharing through conferences, seminars, workshops, newsletters and other mediums. Appropriate linkages are being developed with similar educational centers within the country and outside.
