This course provides a thorough introduction to the application of Java based object-oriented programming. It will cover basic Java syntax and grammar, and expose students to object-oriented programming, event-driven techniques and Java GUI programming, all in the Java based development environment. Students are exposed to Java OOP programming concepts, use of OOP in algorithms and the use of obejct oriented concepts in solving software engineering related problems. Upon completion of this course, students are expected to have gained sufficient OOP skills to solve computing problems via OOP in the Java based environment.
This course introduces computer organization looking at data representation, computer arithmetic, instruction of set architecture, data-path and control, memory organization, I/O, communications, and trends in computer architecture. In addition we will build a virtual computer from basic components up to a working architecture that can be programming in machine code.
Course Name: Computer Architecture
Course Code: CST308
Course Description: This course covers architectural techniques such as pipelining, pipeline dependencies and hazards, out-of-order execution, branch predictor, VLIW processors, multiprocessors, and Vector, SIMD, GPU micro-architectures. In addition, this course covers other topics including quantitative principles of computer design, computer reliability and availability, instruction set architecture, memory hierarchy, cache memory, memory virtualization, cache coherence protocols.

This course provides an introduction to the principles of computer graphics. In particular, this course focus on the theoretical aspects and implementation of computer graphics through 3D graphics Application Programming Interfaces. Design and develop methods of modelling polygons, UV texture and shading, shadows and illumination, and rendering will be introduced. The methods are typically used to interact with graphics processing unit (GPU) to create computer graphics.
This course introduces fundamental database concepts, including data modeling, entity-relationship diagrams, and the basic principles of Structured Query Language (SQL). It focuses on understanding relational database systems and their manipulation. Additionally, the course explores database processes, procedures, and emerging trends such as data warehousing and data mining. A problem-based learning approach is used to enhance practical understanding.
