SUST CSE Dept.

Dept. of CSE, SUST is one of the leading computer science departments and the best among 8 science and technology universities of Bangladesh. We always seek for the opportunities to collaborate with the industry giant for cutting edge research work. We have a Center for Research Testing and Consultancy (CRTC) as the professional software and hardware development section for successful industry collaboration. It is our great pleasure to say that in the last 3 years more than 10 Govt. organizations used our developed software. This year we are developing software for the automation of Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA) to increase the efficiency of office tasks and also ship tracking devices for the water vehicle to reduce the accidents. Besides these, we received research grants from Ministry of Science and ICT for continuing the research work on bilingual screen reading software Mongol Dip and text to speech software Subachan. Grameenphone IT (GPIT) collaborated with us for the development of small scale search engine Pipilika based on our research work in the field of Bengali NLP and Distributed & Parallel Computing. Moreover, we built a cluster computer named SUSTClust of sixteen processors to explore the high performance computing field and already using it for the research work in the field of Bioinformatics. Also, our students participated in the ACM ICPC World Finals 2012 in Poland. With 18 faculty members, 240 undergraduate students, 100 master’s students and 15 professional software developers, we have a very balanced academic environment in our department for initiating and continuing great research works.
