The curriculum is structured as shown in the figure below. This major focuses on four areas: Computer and Embedded Systems, Software Design, Multimedia Technologies and Data Analytics and Security. Core courses include: engineering mathematics, electronic design, logic circuits, electronic circuit, computer programming, data structures and algorithms, data engineering, modelling techniques, microcomputer systems, database systems, data communications and networking, data management technique, Java programming and applications, embedded system design, internet technology, signal and systems, operating system. In the final year, students may specialise in different areas of interest in preparation for their future careers and enjoy considerable flexibility in the designing of their direction through selection of elective courses on topics such as digital image and audio technology, computer graphics, security technology, Digital Forensics, Cloud Computing Systems, iOS Mobile App Development and Networking, and Data Informatics and Learning Systems. |
