1. Background
Currently, there is significant difference between the demand and supply of the quality
professionals in Computer & IT sector to fulfill country’s technocratic need. Various
Governmental and other organizations have the desire to use modern information technology
tools and techniques. However, there is an acute shortage of technical staff. The failure of many
projects in IT in terms of implementation and sustainability is largely attributed to shortage of
qualified professionals. Realizing the importance of Computer Science and IT and the acute
shortage of skilled manpower in the field, the Department of Computer Science and Information
Technology, Arba Minch University Institute of Technology, Arba Minch University was
established with the vision and mission to promote Computer Science and Information
Technology education at Graduate and post Graduate level to fulfill the technocratic need of
country. In starting phase department launched an Advanced Diploma programme in Computer
Science in 1995 E.C ( now Closed).The first curriculum for BSc degree programme was adopted
in 1996 E.C. under Faculty of Engineering. In addition to this the university launched a second
BSc Degree program in Information Technology in 2004 E.C. Currently both the programs run
under Computer Science and IT department under Arba Minch Institute of Technology (AMIT).
Further department started M.Sc. in Computer Science in 2011 E.C. In addition to it the
department has summer B.Sc. Computer Science, B.Sc. Information Technology and M.Sc.
Information Technology. All programmes are successfully running with adequate quality and
commitment to accomplish the vision and mission of the department, university and nation at
large.
Nowadays, software plays a central role in almost all aspects of daily life: in government,
banking and finance, education, transportation, entertainment, medicine, agriculture, and law.
The number, size, and application domains of computer programs have grown dramatically; as a
result, hundreds of billions are being spent on software development, and the livelihood and lives
of most people depend on the effectiveness of this development. Software products have helped
us to be more efficient and productive. They make us more effective problem solvers, and they
provide us with an environment for work and play that is often safer, more flexible, and less
confining. Software engineering is a discipline, which involves the specification, design,
construction and verification of large software systems.
Although the field of Software Engineering was established more than 30 years ago, Bachelor
degree programs in Software Engineering in Ethiopia came into existence in the last few years.

part of the basic human necessity known as communication.
 In order to write well, students must practice concepts that involve
grammatical structure, voice, style, and vocabulary usage. This
course will carefully guide you through the basic structures and rules
of the English-language and focus on improving skills that are
necessary in order to write clearly and accurately
Course Goals  Students will be able to use rhetorical terminology to describe
writing.
 Students will be able to identify instances of plagiarism and explain
why it is a serious
 Offense in academic writing.

Course Description A distributed system is a computer system consisting of several
Page | 125
independent computers, connected by a network, that can work together
to perform a task or provide a service. Typical examples include: the
World Wide Web, networked file systems, DNS, and massive
multiprocessor supercomputers.
Course Objective: In this course we aim to provide students with a deeper understanding of
distributed systems. In particular we focus on the principles, techniques,
and practices relevant to the design and implementation of such
systems. The course takes a systems-oriented view of distributed
systems, concentrating on infrastructure software and providing hands-
on experience implementing distributed systems
Course Goals After completing this course students will be able to:
 Explain what a distributed system is, why they would design a
system as a distributed system, and what the desired properties of
such systems are;
 List the principles underlying the functioning of distributed
systems
 Describe the problems and challenges associated with distributed
systems, and evaluate the effectiveness and shortcomings of their
solutions;
 Recognize how the principles are applied in contemporary
distributed systems, explain how they affect the software design

items (machines and other sources, such as printers)
2. The relationship between physical machine and processes
– what runs where
1. Architectural Design
A software system is a set of communicating entities that collaborate to
perform a task. The Architectural Design is a top level design which
shows these entities, their relationships and the relationships. Each entity
of the architectural design needs an abstract specification. The
specification is a description of its purpose, its functionality, its attributes
(including dependency on other entities) and the constraints under which
it must operate. Class diagrams or structure charts may be used to
represent architecture of a system.
User Interface Design
Describe the logical characteristics of each interface between the
software product and the users. This may include sample screen images,
any GUI standards or product family style guides that are to be followed,
screen layout constraints, standard buttons and functions (e.g., help) that
will appear on every screen, keyboard shortcuts, error message display
standards, and so on. Define the software components for which a user
interface is needed.

Data Structure Design
Design in detail and specify the data structures to be used in the
implementation. If these include databases, define the table structure of
all databases including full field descriptions and all relations. Graphical
languages like ER diagram are appropriate.

Course Description This course concerns us with the topic of research. It attempts to define
what research is, why we do research, and the various methods that
researchers use to investigate problems.
It is designed as an under-graduate introduction to research

methodology. Students are assumed to be familiar with statistics (such
as mean, standard deviation, percentiles, and other such terms). The
course provides a framework for conceptualizing research and is meant
to underpin the research project for the final year as well as for the
projects delivered for each subject.
Course Objective: At the end of this course, students will be able to understand:
 The terminologies used by professional researchers employing
Page | 151
scientific thinking.
 How to formulate a solid research hypothesis (research

question).
 the basic stages of research design
 types of proposals and the contents of each
 the issues covered in research ethics
 the relationships that exist between variables in research design

and the steps for evaluating those relationships

Course Description In order to be able to formulate what a computer system is supposed to
do, or to prove that it does meet its specification, or to reason about its
efficiency, one needs the precision of mathematical notation and
techniques. For instance, to specify computational problems precisely
one needs to abstract the detail and then use mathematical objects such
as sets, functions, relations, orders, and sequences. To prove that a
proposed solution does work as specified, one needs to apply the
principles of mathematical logic, and to use proof techniques such as
induction. And to reason about the efficiency of an algorithm, one often
needs to count the size of complex mathematical objects. The Discrete
Mathematics course aims to provide this mathematical background.
Page | 156
Course Goals This is an introductory course on discrete mathematics. Students will
learn:
 some fundamental mathematical concepts and terminology;
 how to use and analyses recursive definitions;
