History

The journey of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering started on a bright morning of September 1992, founded through the vision of Professor Dr. M. Lutfar Rahman. The department began modestly, offering only an M.Sc. degree in Computer Science within the Faculty of Science, with an initial cohort of 20 students.

A three-year B.Sc. (Honours) program was introduced in 1994 and expanded to four years in 1997 — the first such program in the faculty. The department was renamed Computer Science and Engineering in 2004, and in 2008 it moved to the newly established Faculty of Engineering and Technology, followed by the adoption of a four-point grading system in 2010.

Over three decades CSEDU has grown into one of the strongest homes for computing education and research in the region. Twenty-five undergraduate batches and thirty-one graduate cohorts have graduated, and the department today hosts 39 faculty members — 19 of them holding doctoral degrees and 14 currently pursuing PhDs abroad.
