Information Technology (IT):

is the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly computer hardware and applications. Information technology is concerned with the use of computers and software applications to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and securely retrieve information.

As for the Information Technology Department, it is responsible for managing and implementing information technology in any organization. It is responsible for managing the computer network, managing servers, e-mail services, protecting the organization from cyber-attacks, in addition to managing information systems, cloud services, and artificial intelligence applications.

The information technology major is a global specialty, and the need for it in the global labor markets is very great, and this need increased after the Corona pandemic, since all institutions were forced to close their headquarters and employees became working from their homes, and this transformation forced institutions and companies to adopt information systems in managing their work.

We in the Department of Information Technology, in cooperation and coordination with the Deanship of the College, have done everything we can to take into account all that has been previously mentioned by preparing curricula that enable the graduate to compete for a job in the local and global market.

The curricula are based on modern international curricula developed by the IEEE Foundation, in addition to experts from manufacturers of information and network technologies. The Department of Information Technology, in cooperation with the Deanship of the College, aspires to establish cooperation mechanisms with local and international companies to provide job opportunities and training for its students before their graduation, as well as obtaining their modern educational curricula that support the practical side.

The department also seeks to provide a good and comfortable learning environment for students in terms of classrooms and educational laboratories.

We also attach importance to all activities (sports, exhibitions, seminars and scientific courses) that make university life better.

Vision:

The Dept. aspires to be a scientific edifice that promotes higher education and scientific research by using up-to-date technologies of higher education programs. It develops these programs in the light of international standards and disseminates IT culture to serve the community and furnish the State with highly qualified scientific cadre along with acquiring knowledge and usage of the most advanced scientific technologies.

Mission:

1. To prepare qualified IT human resources with all different specialties to meet the requirements of the labor market.
2. To find proper solutions for the communal problems and cope with development in various fields.
