Course Aspects
The program was created with international ABET and ACM standards in mind and Georgia's ICT sector characteristics.
The course offers:
- Training courses based on modern learning materials: object-oriented programming, data structures and algorithms, tech entrepreneurship, graphic design, computer networks, network systems management, unstructured databases, mobile application development, system programming, machine learning, data analysis, introduction to cyber security, data engineering, IoT-smart systems, UI/UX design, software engineering, DevOps and more;
- Project-based learning: in addition to a large part of the courses, which involves the implementation of projects, the student completes two independent projects, where the student develops a software product together with a team, whose ideas will be involved in the creation of partner organizations: prepare project documentation, build a working prototype, and put into practice the knowledge and experience gained in the field;
- Specialization optional modules: Angular, blockchain technologies, digital signal processing, game creation, iOS programming, natural language processing, parallel computing, smart contracts, software testing automation, product design, cloud computing, the programming language C#, management information systems;
- A real opportunity to develop and implement a business idea through the Start-up Garage at the university;
- Close contact with partner organizations of the program and implementation of individual/group projects with their support: the creation of applications, creation of systems using IoT technologies, creation of small software systems, integration and testing of systems, designing of small and medium-sized networks, and others;
- Workshops, thematic seminars, meetings with guests, and others;
- Involvement in the process of conducting research;
- Participation in the projects initiated by Digital Transformation Center.
