This course exposes the students on the essentials of computing and deals with the general computer literacy. Understanding the computer is becoming more essential to be productive and successful in today’s world. The course exposes fundamental concepts in a manner that emphasizes their importance from the user’s point of view. The computer is transforming the way we learn, communicate and do business. Besides providing an overview of computers – what they are doing and what they can do, this course also covers the aspects including computer security and ethics, modern trends and issues. The students are expected to have hands-on experience of using popular application packages.

This course is an introductory course in computer science curriculum and to provide foundation skills in subsequent subjects. The course will provide an overview of components and process within a computer system. The goal is to help students understand the organization and function of components in a computer system and used the knowledge in circuit theories to solve problems concerning data transfer and control.

This course is the study of information systems focusing on their use in business and management. This course provides the students with the leading edge perspectives on the business and management uses of information systems. Businesses invest in information systems because they create business value. The major system investments being made today are enterprise applications that integrate information across the enterprise and create powerful new links to customers and suppliers.

The course is intended to introduce students to the steps in problem solving. Student will study the basic concepts of structured programming to understand the software development and programming process. The aim is to produce students who understand the fundamental ideas of computer programming and algorithms and able to implement the problem solution using C++ programming language.

This course will enable the students to experience the planning, analysis, design, and development phases in handling information technology project to develop solutions based on the formulated problem.  Students should be able to compile, analyse, and present the project carried out in the form of a thesis.  Students also should be able to communicate the project outcome effectively through oral and poster presentation.

In  this  course  the  student  will  exposed  to  the  different  types  of  research  project  and  learn  to  propose  a complete research project. The students will be guided to produces proposal of an intended project. The guidance will include theoretical research and it can culminate in model program intended for testing out the theoretical findings.

This course introduces the students to the systems development life cycle activities. It provides a foundation of information systems development using traditional structured approach. Emphasis is given on the process model and relational data model as the building blocks of information systems. Students can therefore use the constructed models to develop a simple information system.

This course provides a foundation on the fundamentals of data communications and telecommunication technologies. The concepts, models, protocols and standards of digital telecommunication are also covered. Students will also be exposed to the essentials of local area networks (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) technologies.

The World Wide Web (Web) has become the dominant platform for ubiquitously accessible information and applications of any kind. Although the applications become increasingly complex, the development process still remains ad-hoc. A large gap between design models and the implementation model of the Web has been recognized to be one of the main reasons for the low acceptance of disciplined development in the Web. It becomes clear that the construction and evolution of applications for the World Wide Web requires support such as is available for traditional applications through process models, architectures, methods and principles of software engineering. This new discipline that has been established during the previous years is therefore seen as: Web Engineering - The application of systematic, disciplined and quantifiable approaches to the cost-effective development and evolution of high-quality solutions in the World Wide Web.

This course is designed to enhance the fundamental Mathematics to prepare students for diploma courses. The course content includes operations on numbers, algebra, polynomials, equations, functions, indices and logarithm. It also covers sequence, basic statistics and applications of basic mathematics in business,finance and investment.
