Our First Industrial Visit

 We, the first batch of Bachelor of Computer Science degree program at University of Ruhuna took part in the industry visit to IFS, one of the leading software development companies in the world on 21/10/2011 as a result of commitment of the Department of Computer Science.That was a remarkable day, not only for us but also for the Department of Computer Science and as well as for the IFS.

On that day, we were provided with immense of knowledge in different areas in  technical and software development and also with general knowledge about the Information Technology field .They presented their lectures and presentations in well planned and friendly manner  which encouraging us to clear our doubts by asking questions. It was a great experience for us to build up ourselves as software engineers or as any IT related employee in the Industry.
   

They, the members of the IFS treated us in a pleasant manner which motivated us to become valuable future employees in the industry. Cloud computing, ERP systems, visit to the server room and the final discussion they did with us are some interesting events of our visit.

That was a wonderful day for all of us as BCS undergraduates at University of Ruhuna, the first batch to have an industry visit to IFS. We learnt lot of things from them about the Industry and the information that we got helped us a lot in our studies.

 

We like to thank the IFS, who gave us the opportunity to have an industry visit to their company in Wellawatta and also to the Department of Computer Science who arranged this for us to gain first-hand experience in the industry. We are waiting to have many more in the future.

 

 

Mini Project - BCS Batch 1

Designing and implementation the projects collaboration with other groups too

After completing only a half of their degree program BCS students from the first batch exhibited their knowledge gain within about one and half years through this project. The project is done as a group project with three members in each group. Several topics are distributed, one for each group to implement a solution using the latest technologies including JAVA.

Ready to exhibit their own implementations to the visitors

Mini Project I - Groups

Group A - Library Management System
Group B - Examination Results Management System
Group C - Student Information System
Group D - Who Wants To Be A Millionaire
Group E - Simple Banking System
Group F - Electronic voting System

Group G - ATM System
Group H - Hospital Management System
Group I - Human Resources Management System
Group J - Flight reservation control system

The Project is done under the supervision of Ms. Samantha Kumarapathirana and all the other staff members of Department of Computer Science.

After the presentations the project coordinated Lecturers with the BCS Batch 1 students

After the completing the implementation a final exhibit session was held at Department of Computer Science premises in University of Ruhuna, Matara, Sri Lanka.

Experimenting their own colleagues software solutions

 About three, four months students spent implementing the project with their various innovation ideas. Most of the groups used the latest programming language JAVA for their implementation and MySQL database server. For reporting purposes Jasper Reporting libraries are used within the JAVA application.

Some of the projects developed as distributed systems for client server architecture via tcp/ip network protocol.

Presenting their solutions to the staff

 Three members developed their separate components separately and finally total project was integrated. After the final testing phase the project was presented for the staff members and other students.

BCS Batch 1 - Mini project is successfully finished after the presentations at their premises.

After the final presentation groups are celebrating their success

About BCS@UOR

In 2010, BCS Students’ Network was established consisting of Bachelor of Computer Science students at University of Ruhuna, Sri Lanka.

Bachelor of Computer Science was established in 2010 as the latest degree program at University of Ruhuna, Sri Lanka. The degree is offered to Advanced Level Mathematics stream passed out students who are specifically selected based upon a cut-off Z-score point.

The Bachelor of Computer Science degree program expects to admit and facilitate a total of 5o students a year. [Currently there are 69 students of two consecutive batches, 31 in 2010 and 38 in 2011].The number of students facilitated will be increased in the coming years.

The Bachelor of Computer Science students are involved in short- term ongoing projects in between academic sessions and an Industry based final year group project. Finally the students have to go through an Industrial Training which will be ideal for their careers.

What Bachelor of Computer Science degree program expects at the end is to prepare students for careers in Computer Science as Software Engineers, System Architecturers and various other fields to follow.

BCS Students’ Network, based on Bachelor of Computer Science degree program carries their mission to plant dreams and ideas for successful business minds.
