Department of Science

The Department of Science was founded and functions by the law 1404/83 and belongs in the School of Technological Applications. It supports the teaching of courses in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Information Technology. The department also contributes to the development of programmes, the introduction of general education courses, and the application of new methods that aim at the improvement of teaching. The department also undertakes research, community programmes and services. The department is divided into the following four sectors:

1. Information Technology;

2. Mathematics;

3. Physics;

4. Chemistry - Chemistry and Technology of Materials.

Sector of Information Technology

The sector of information technology aims teaches computer programming to students in all the departments of School of Technological Applications. This is realised with various courses per department of specialty as follows:

Department of Electrical Engineering:

• Tools of Information Technology;

• PC Programming I;

• PC Programming II.

Department of Mechanical Engineering:

• Introduction to Computers;

• Introduction to Computer Science.

Department of Technology of Petroleum and Natural Gas:

• Computer science I;

• Computer science II.

Members of the department perform applied and technological research in Information Technology. Also, the department deals with various subjects of information technology and tries to contribute in the growth of Information Technology in the institute.
