OBJECTIVES OF THE SCHOOL
The School of Computing and Information Sciences (SCIS) is envisioned as the universitys
instrument in bridging the digital divide between the academe, industry and community
by being an excellent center for education in computing and information sciences !eing
so, SCIS will continuously offer updated computing and information science programs
committed to nurture the Christian Spirit of creative, competent and socially involved
individuals who are advocates of peace and progress
Christian Spirit.
SCIS rears Information and Computing professionals and practitioners who are
grounded on Christian values ma"ing them responsible and ethical citi#ens of the
globe
Creativity.
SCIS trains potential Information and Computing professionals in abstraction and
analysis processes enabling them to participate in lifelong learning and
adaptation to the fast changing environment
Competence.
SCIS e$uips faculty and students with appropriate "nowledge and computing
s"ills
Social Involvement
SCIS provides continuing Computing and Information solutions, education,
consultancy and assistance to members of the community who are faced with
issues and problems

Aside from doing hands$on programming e7ercises that 8ill help
ensure that the students have ade9uate e7posure on varia+les, types,
assignment e7pressions, primitive data types, the role of algorithms in the
pro+lem$solving process, +asic I12, se9uence construct, selection control
constructs, iteration control constructs, class and method de:nitions,
parameter passing, the one$dimensional arrays and string processing, this
course 8ill provide additional practicum for students to do 8ell on o+;ect$
oriented programmers using the 6ava language. Practicum activities 8ill focus
on de:ning user$de:ned classes as 8ell as using availa+le reference classes.
)he practicum 8ill allo8 a +etter understanding of access modi:ers, instance
varia+les, methods, constructors, overloading, inheritance and e7ception
handling. In addition, the essentials of sorting and searching algorithms, t8o$
dimensional arrays, and data :le handling 8ill +e appreciated through
programming e7ercises.
