Glocal School of Computer Science
The Glocal School of Computer Science educates future computer application engineers and computer scientists.
The courses at this school are designed with special emphasis on a systems approach, algorithmic thinking and a knack to find the best and fastest fit for an application.
As programs and applications become more user-friendly, it is the exceptions that are taught and also how to use little-known features.
The science of computing is addressed with a heavy emphasis on the science part. Thus, a Glocal BS in Computer Science would look upon coding as a tool rather than an end in itself.
The school offers BCA and MCA courses and BS and MS courses. The UG courses are 8-semester and PG courses are 4-semester.
The UG courses have the first year as a foundation as in the technology and with increasing areas of specialization and application addressed in the final year. Here too the education is all-round but with a difference.
Computer specialists, in our opinion, need a greater exposure to the humanities and to other subjects like economics, accounting, astronomy, psychology, etc.,
where the use of computers and applications are growing at a fast rate and an appreciation of these areas is needed by the computer specialist.
Also, programing and software are areas of intense mental activity and concentration and also a demand on creativity which is better developed by ‘soft’ thinking subjects like music, philosophy, world literature, etc.
These help promote ‘lateral’ and out-of-the-box thinking so important to one engaged in making computation and computers work for society and the individual.
