JKUAT Computer Science

The course emphasizes the architecture of both the hardware and software, converting a typical Computer from a box of electronics into a sophisticated information processing tool. It focuses on the ways in which computer hardware and software are constructed, and provide an insight into the purpose of each of the major computing systems.
