Center for Information Technology and Scientific Computing

Overview

Nowadays, growth opportunities in the IT sector are enormous. While in the developed countries IT professionals are as numerous as all types of engineers combined, in Ethiopia they are only a small fraction of the total number of engineers. We are convinced that a very good way of kick starting the IT market in Ethiopia is via getting engaged in outsourcing. That is why AAiT is attempting to provide three new curricula in the UG and five in PG programs that aim at qualifying students who can be engaged in outsourcing activities. Many developing countries have shown that this is not only a profitable route, but it is a very important seed contributing significantly to the industrialization of the country. A very good example of such countries is Vietnam.

The AAiT is currently planning to produce graduates who are competent and productive in the current dynamic information technology world. Taking into consideration the local and global demands for IT professionals, the Institute has initiated this new program in a new department.

Vision of ITSC

 The vision of the Center of Information Technology and Scientific Computing is to become an internationally recognized academic model in the field of Information Technology, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security and Mobile Computing and to produce qualified graduates ready to meet the challenges of the fast growing field of information and computing technology. Realizing the future potential of software related knowledge, the Center makes strong emphasis on delivering quality knowledge in addition to research-based activities. We feel the creation of knowledge through research and development activities is as vital as imparting the existing knowledge. The coursework in Information Technology, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security and Mobile Computing programs is state-of-the art and it is updated frequently in association with faculty and representatives of professional industry.
