Seeka University
Seeka University is an entrepreneurial university set to open its doors in fall 2020 in the city of Yamoussoukro, the administrative and political capital of Ivory Coast. the new university will start with a School of Entrepreneurship and a School of Engineering and Technology. <p></p>We believe that education should and must be holistic. Hence, our educational philosophy is to develop individual students as well as helping them acquire the necessary skills needed to become productive and self-reliant citizens. As a consequence, we focus on both the process (skill acquisition) and the individual (personal development). Very often, in the context of Africa, once they graduate from college, students expect governments to offer them a job. Our philosophy is that <mark>students should be self-reliant and become the captain of their own destiny. They must set the path of their own lives.</mark> As such, Seeka University is rethinking and redesigning education in Ivory Coast. We expect our students to ‘dream big and be the captain of their own destiny.’
National Polytechnic Institute Félix Houphouët-Boigny
The department is split into 2 sections: A computer science section and a mathematics section. Each of the sections is seen as a whole composed of educational and research workshops, teaching of the same specialty. The department is made up of Pedagogical and Research Teams (EPR) made up of teachers working collectively on questions of pedagogy and research. The EPRs are grouped into a logical unit called the Computer Science and Applied Mathematics Research Laboratory ( LARIMA ). <p></p> The structure is based on the specialties found in the Department, namely computer science and mathematics. Hence the creation of the computer section and the mathematical section. Each of the sections is seen as a whole composed of educational and research workshops, teaching of the same specialty. Pedagogical and Research Teams (EPR) are set up which are freely formed by teachers who agree to work collectively on questions of pedagogy and research. The EPRs are grouped into a logical unit called the Computer Science and Applied Mathematics Research Laboratory ( LARIMA ). <p></p> Areas of research in Computer Science <mark><br> - Distributed Architecture, Parallel Architecture, Scientific Computing <br> - Networks, Software Engineering and Programming <br> - Artificial Intelligence, Database, Human-Machine Interface</mark>
