Abstract In today’s world, tertiary institutions provide Computer Science and Information Technology courses to students for them to have the opportunity to improve the thinking computational skills they will need to function in today's computation-dependent society. Moreover, pupils who think they can finish programming tasks successfully are likely more to become interested. Additionally, effective approaches to impart computer programming frequently rise pupils' interest in programming. As a result, the study sought to examine college students’ interest in programming. The research design for the study was a survey method. The study’s population comprise of Computer Science and Information Technology students at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. The sample size was 368 where we used a systematic sampling technique to select participants for the study. The study shows that majority of college students have interest in programming. The results revealed that the total number of males who have interest in programming are greater than females and that the total number of males who study programming far outweigh the total number of females. It is recommended that females should be encouraged to study programming at the various institutions that provide programming courses to students.

Data science and big data analytics are still at the center of computer science and information technology. Students and researchers not in computer science often found difficulties in real data analytics using programming languages such as Python and Scala, especially when they attempt to use Apache-Spark in cloud computing environments-Spark Scala and PySpark. At the same time, students in information technology could find it difficult to deal with the mathematical background of data science algorithms. To overcome these difficulties, this chapter will provide a practical guideline to different users in this area. The authors cover the main algorithms for data science and machine learning including principal component analysis (PCA), support vector machine (SVM), k-means, k-nearest neighbors (kNN), regression, neural networks, and decision trees. A brief description of these algorithms will be explained, and the related code will be selected to fit simple data sets and real data sets. Some visualization methods including 2D and 3D displays will be also presented in this chapter.

This study examined the influence of information technology on internal control systems in tertiary institutions in Osun State with the aim of determining whether or not information technology has a major influence on tertiary institutions' internal control systems. A descriptive research design was adopted while the population of the study consists of tertiary institutions in Osun State, Obafemi Awolowo University was chosen using judgmental sampling technique because of her accessibility and convenience. One hundred and twenty (120) copies of the questionnaire were distributed while hundred (100) copies were returned and analyzed using regression analysis. Findings from the study revealed that information technology significantly influences internal control systems and significantly influences internal audit processes in tertiary institutions in Osun State with t-value and p-value of 20.029 and 0.000, 19.049, and 0.000 respectively. It was concluded that information technology enhances and strengthens internal control systems and internal audit processes in tertiary institutions. The study, therefore, recommended that tertiary institutions should embrace information technology so as to strengthen the internal control systems of their institutions, internal control systems should be jealously guided to prevent fraudulent activities, duties must be properly segregated technologically so as to determine who to be held responsible when there are infractions and finally, both on-the-job and off-the-job training in information technology should be embraced by management of tertiary institutions so as to update the required skills and knowledge of their staff in information technology
