Eduardo Mondlane University
The B.S. in Computer Science gives you the broad computational thinking, programming, and problem-solving skills you’ll need to succeed as a computing professional in a range of emerging careers and industries - from automated vehicles to biomedical devices and sensor-based technologies. The Department of Computer Science offers a comprehensive <mark>curriculum that favors a pragmatic, problem-solving approach to computing.</mark> The program builds upon a mathematically rigorous foundation, while challenging you with physics, chemistry, and other sciences to round out your ability to frame problems and think analytically.
Pedagogical University
It is a teaching and research unit that aims to provide basic and advanced knowledge in different areas of computer science. Created in 2002, the department is guided by the objectives of the Higher Education Law, which advocate <mark>scientific, technological and cultural training and research, as a means of solving society's problems and supporting the country's development; linking courses with the job market in all sectors of economic activity and; Realization of extension activities, which promote the dissemination and technical-scientific exchange.</mark> Since its creation, courses in Information Technology and Computer Engineering have already been given. And, with the 2014 curriculum review, these courses were merged into a single course with several outputs. The course is called a Degree in Informatics with outputs in: Software Development Engineering, Network Engineering, Teaching of Informatics and Multimedia. The department also offers an Applied Informatics course, which is taught in the distance education model.
São Tomás University of Mozambique
The Degree in Software Development (LDSW) course has a duration of 4 years, that is 8 (eight) semesters, and is composed of 39 subjects, of which 8 (eight) subjects are general, 6 (six) basic and the remaining are core according to the curriculum. This course was created with the aim of directing the student from the beginning to a single specialization, focusing on the fundamental guidelines of the area of Software Development. <p></p> Skills acquired <br> - Perform Data Modeling and Software Design <br> - Satisfactorily implement a Software according to its socio-economic environment <br> - <mark>Produce Software by applying Structured and Object-Oriented Development Methodologies</mark> <br> - Build Software using Object Oriented languages and in a Web environment as well as in standalone <br> - Carry out a survey of Software Requirements according to the context in which it is requested <br> - Apply purely mathematical concepts in software production, thus creating products that are smarter and easier to interpret <br> - <mark>Design the structure of a relational and object-oriented database and know how to materialize it in environments such as Oracle, MySQL and PostgSQL (or SQL SERVER)</mark>
Polytechnic University of Mozambique
Trains professionals with solid technological and scientific knowledge necessary for the processes of elaboration, development, execution and monitoring of projects and the creation of sustainable technological solutions, in perfect harmony with the environment, in the regional and international context. Promote the humanistic and creative values of the Mozambican citizen. <p></p> Mission:<br> <mark>Train technicians with a high level of preparation in the human, cultural, scientific and technical aspects, to intervene at a national or international level, in the areas of engineering, management, economic, social and business sciences.</mark>
Higher Institute of Science and Technology of Mozambique
The Degree in Computer Engineering at ISCTEM (LEI) began in 1997, having been the first to be taught in Mozambique with the aim of filling the gaps of technicians with higher education in the field of ICT's. <p></p> With its own characteristics, it provides students with scientific, technological and methodological knowledge to solve problems related to Computer Science, Electronics, Communications and Management, so that they can, in a comprehensive and effective way, formulate and solve problems of specification, design, design, operation and maintenance of computer systems and applications. <p></p> <mark>The course also allows stimulating the acquisition of knowledge, techniques, approaches and multidisciplinary skills that foster innovation in processes, tools, methods and computer technologies.</mark> <p></p> Of the characteristics that distinguish the course and allow it to have added value, we highlight the inclusion of theoretical/practical subjects taught by visiting professors from universities based in Portugal (Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Coimbra and Minho) and a <mark>strong practical component in programming, security, computer networks, database and a professional internship carried out in companies with which the institution has partnerships.</mark> <p></p> The first two years of the course are essentially based on the production of knowledge, development of basic course skills and student guidance. The third and fourth year of the course consolidate the skills of previous years and guide students in choosing the areas that best fit them, such as: programming, database, systems security, computer networks. <p></p> The practical component is carried out in specialized laboratories, which allows the consolidation of the contents acquired in the theoretical classes, internships and visits to institutions such as: mobile phone companies, banks and other similar institutions.
Higher Institute of Transport and Communications
Computer science is the study of algorithms - problem solving methods — and how to express solutions in software to be run on a computer. In today’s world, Computer scientists are found working in almost every field, from healthcare to entertainment to the environment. They use problem-solving and teamwork skills to solve real-world problems. <p></p> Where can I perform this role of Computer Engineer?<br> Computers are vital to most industries today - from banking and communication to film production and transportation - and new jobs are rapidly emerging. The computer science degree develops depth of knowledge in all aspects of computer science. It also complements the broader analytical skills of a liberal arts education. <p></p>Classes & Curriculum <p></p> The computer science program includes programming in: <mark> <br> - Object-oriented programming <br> - Data structures <br> - Algorithms <br> - Computer organization <br> - Systems programming with Linux <br> - Operating systems <br> - Database <br> - Software engineering </mark>
