The department works tirelessly on improving industrial participation and entrepreneurship. The key scholastic objective is to prepare students for research and being strong economic drivers. <p></p> Through our excellence in teaching, cutting edge research and commitment to community service we seek to become the Department of Choice in Africa. Our main goal right now is to grow into a School – one that will play a pivotal role in the country’s attainment of the 1st World Status in 2022. In a nutshell, GROWTH is our mantra. <mark>Currently, we are working on a number of direct and professional programmes which we hope will attract a lot of technology enthusiasts from all over the continent.</mark> <p></p> To boost our research profile we have formed a research group that will focus on Computational Intelligence and Health Informatics (Computational Intelligence and Health Informatics Research Group). The aims of this group are to mentor our students to become young researchers and to use research to respond to national problems e.g. fighting HIV and TB, and advancing agriculture. As a Department, we are also doing our best to create ICT awareness in the country and to make our voice heard in the country’s ICT discourse.
