The Discipline of Information Technology

In early days, ‗Computer Science‘ was used as a common term for computing. With the
passage of time, the nature of basic principles, methods, techniques and concepts evolved.
Even some new concepts refuted the old ones. Before 1990s, computing was limited to three
disciplines – Computer Science (CS), Computer Engineering (CE), and Information Systems
(ISs). By 1990s, the global community realized that the field of computing had grown in
many dimensions. Different academic institutions started offering different degre
degree programs
in Software Engineering (SE).
The inventions of personal computers revolutionized the conventional concepts of calculation

and changed the way data was stored, retrieved and controlled. Computers became essential
tools at every level and networ
networked
ked computer systems became the information backbone of
organizations (Kotkin, 2000). It also expedited the pace of inventions (Thomson, 2007)
resulting many innovations in communication and computation technologies which brought a
paradigm shift in the business
siness world - from data processing to information processing;
converting industrial society into an information society (Cohen, 2009). While this paradigm
shift improved productivity, it also brought new challenges regarding the development,
operation, maintenance,
intenance, and up up-gradation
gradation of organizational information management
infrastructure (Samuelson, 1995).
By the end of 1990s, the academia realized that the existing computing degree programs were
not producing graduates who had the right mix of knowledge and skills to meet
organizational challenges (Lunt, et. al., 2005). Consequently, universities developed new
degree programs in Information Technology (IT) to fill this crucial void (Denning, 2001);
Hence IT was introduced as a new family member of computing disciplines (Lunt, et. al.,
2005).
According to Curricula 2005: The Overview Report: ―Information technolo ology is a label that
has two meanings. In the broadest sense, the term information technology is often used to
refer to all of computing. In academia, it
refers to undergraduate degree programs
that prepare students to meet the
computer technology needs of business,
government, healthcare, schools, and
other kinds of organizations‖.
organizations Curriculum
Guidelines for
Undergraduate
raduate Degree Programs in
Information Technology (2008) explains
that ―Information Tecchnology (IT) in its
broadest sense encompasses all aspects
of computing technology. IT, as an
academic discipline, is concerned with
issues related to advocating for usersuse
and meeting their needs within an
organizational and societal context through the selection, creation, application, integration
and administration of computing technologies.‖ Figure 11, depicts the key pillars of academic
discipline of Information Technology
Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree Programs in Information Technology (2008)

Information Technology as an academic discipline, as defined by The Information

Technology Association of America (ITAA), is ―the study, design, development, application,
implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly
software applications and computer hardware‖. It deals with the use of electronic computers
and computer software to securely convert, store, protect, process, transmit, input, output, and
retrieve information. [Wikipedia]
Vision of Information Technology Education

As defined in cc2008 ―Information Technology is very much an integrative discipline; it pulls
together the IT pillars of databases, human-computer interaction, networking, programming,
and web systems and uses a solid background in each of them to enable graduates to solve all
types of computing and informational problems, regardless of their origin. As a discipline, IT
emphasizes the pervasive themes of user centeredness and advocacy, information assurance
and security, and the management of complexity through abstraction and modeling, best
practices, patterns, standards, and the use of appropriate tools.‖ In the light of this explanation,
the curriculum committee formalized the Vision Statement for IT education in Pakistan as
follows:
The IT education in Pakistan will focus on imparting the knowledge and training which
enable students
 to understand and contribute to the scientific, mathematical and theoretical
foundations on which information technologies are built;
 to use and apply current technical concepts, techniques, skills, tools and practices to
analyze the local and global impact of IT on individuals, organizations, and society
and to identify their computing needs, and select, design, create, implement,
administer and evaluate a computer-based system, process, component, or program to
meet the desired needs and integrate them into the user environment;
 to develop students‘ interpersonal and organizational skills to communicate
effectively with a range of audience, create operative project plans and work in a
collaborative environment;
 to strengthen students‘ understanding of professional, ethical, legal and social issues
and responsibilities;
 to develop students‘ capacity for innovation and passion for lifelong learning.
IT curriculum thus aims to achieve the targets set in the vision statement. It should strive to
meet the professional demands of the industry and academia both in terms of immediate
needs and the capacity for longer term development to avail the opportunities and face the
challenges of the modern world. The committee is of the view that the curriculum must focus
on building a solid foundation in the early stages of learning. Thus, Information Technology
concepts should be taken up as early as the start of 1st year. These should gradually be
strengthened through developing the core competencies and desired skill-sets during the
second, third and fourth years. The students must also be provided opportunities to bring
together the knowledge gained in a wide variety of courses to solve realistic problems in a
team-based environment through lab sessions, practical assignments, course projects and a
capstone design project.

Information Technology Programs’ Rational

The digital revolution not only reshaped the way scientists conduct their research but
also expedite the pace of inventions. Consequently, the latest advancements in technologies
for communication, computation, and delivery of information brought a paradigm shift in the
business world - from data processing to information processing - converting computer
technology into information technology (IT) and industrial society into an ―information
society‖. While this paradigm shift improves productivity, it also created new work place
challenges regarding the development, operation, maintenance, and up-gradation of
organizational IT infrastructure. Inventions like the Internet, the World Wide Web, email,
bulletin board systems, virtual communities, E-business and other online technologies forced
organizations to find IT based solutions to all kinds of business challenges. For this,
organizations need appropriate systems that work properly and professionals who make these
systems secured, upgraded, and maintained. In parallel, employees require support from these
professionals to make technology effective for enhancing organizational productivity. This
has created a huge demand of IT professionals both locally and globally. Meeting this
demand is the key rationale behind the IT programs. In this regard, the IT programs offer a
curriculum structure that can produce graduates who can meet above discussed challenges of
the 21st century‘s knowledge driven complex work places. The curriculum structure will
create, expand, disseminate and teach the information technology body of knowledge through
academics, applications and research which positively impact society (locally, nationally, and
internationally). It will also provide an integration of all components that allow accessing all
of the new knowledge and technologies for meeting the above discussed challenges.
Underlying Principles of Information Technology Programs

Curriculum plays an important role within education as it outlines the planned and
structured learning experiences that an academic program
provides. For an effective academic program the curriculum
must meet the needs of the stakeholders and face the
emerging challenges. The Department of CS & IT (UOS)
realizes the rapidly changing needs of today‘s knowledge
intensive technology driven complex work places and the
changing patterns of 21st century universities‘ education
which have removed the identity of place, the identity of
time, the identity of the scholarly community, and the
identity of the student community. To meet these challenges,
the Department has revised the existing curriculum. The
revised curriculum is based on following underlying
principles:
i. The curriculum should be a broad based and provides students with the flexibility to
work across many disciplines & professions.
ii. The curriculum should prepare graduates to succeed in a rapidly changing field.
iii. The curriculum should provide guidance for the expected level of mastery of topics
by graduates.
iv. Should provide realistic, adoptable recommendations that provide guidance and flexi-
bility, allowing curricular designs that are innovative and track recent developments in
the field.
v. The curriculum contents should be relevant and compatible with a variety of institu-
Page 8 of 92
tions.
vi. The size of the essential knowledge must be managed.
vii. The curriculum should identify the fundamental skills and knowledge that all gradu-
ates should possess.
viii. The curriculum should provide the greatest flexibility in organizing topics into
courses and curricula.
In the light of these principles, the curriculum of the program has adopted a balanced
and multidisciplinary approach and presents a blend of study areas which spread across the
boundaries of fundamental knowledge of traditional disciplines to advanced knowledge of the
emerging disciplines. Body of knowledge (BOK) of the program covers knowledge areas
which are required for the program‘s accreditation from the Accreditation Council and
knowledge area which are required for professional certification and professional
development.
It is universally accepted that each profession needs both a specific skill set and an
appropriate mindset. Developing an appropriate mindset of the prospective computing
graduates requires a body of knowledge which enriches students‘ experiences, thoughts,
beliefs, assumptions, and attitudes about the special characteristics of that specific domain.
Therefore, the course contents and related practical experiences are designed to meet the
professional requirements of the respective domain. To achieve the curricula have focused on
following six (6) key areas:
i. Knowledge: Theoretical learning of concepts and principles regarding a particular
subject(s).
ii. Skills: Capability of using learnt knowledge and applying it according to the context
iii. Competencies: The ability to do things satisfactory- not necessarily outstandingly or
even well, but rather to a minimum level of acceptable performance.
iv. Expertise: Level of proficiency and innovative ways of applying learnt knowledge.
(Competitive edge)
v. Dispositions: Habits of mind or tendencies to respond to certain situations in certain
ways. The role of dispositions in computing education is very important. For example,
having the disposition to be a programmer is much better that just having program-
ming skills.
vi. Values: Moral, ethical and professional practices.
To strengthen the curriculum further, specialization tracks/courses have also been

integrated within the curriculum‘s BOK. These specialization tracks/courses are designed
according to what the industry is looking for in an employee and the learning interests of
students. Furthermore, life skills including desired dispositions, soft skills, public speaking,
critical thinking & reasoning, 21st Century literacies, personal attributes, entrepreneurship,
attitude towards lifelong learning, professional practices and other social skills have not
considered discrete items, rather threaded into the entire fabric of the curriculum.
