Bachelor of Science in Information Technology - Multimedia

Prerequisite: None

The Course explains what a computer is and what it can (and can't) do; it clearly explains the basics of information technology, from multimedia PCs to the internet and beyond. It illustrates how digital devices and networks affect our lives, our world, and our future. In addition, the course is intended to equip students with the necessary skills to use computer and essential software applications effectively in order to better prepare them for their professional careers.

Prerequisite: None

This course introduces basic programming techniques with a high level programming language. Topics include general introduction to computers and numbering systems, program development process, variables, data types, expressions, selection and repetition structures, functions/procedures, text files, arrays, and pointers.

Prerequisite: 1501214 Programming with Data Structures

This course explores how databases are designed, implemented, and used. The course emphasizes the basic concepts/terminology of the relational model and applications. The students will learn database design concepts, data models (the Entity-Relationship and the Relational Model), SQL functional dependencies and normal forms. The students will gain experience working with a commercial database management system.

Prerequisite: 1501214 Programming with Data Structures

This course will provide an introduction to the fundamental concepts and techniques in the field of artificial intelligence. Topics covered in the course include: problem solving and search, logic and knowledge representation, planning, reasoning and decision-making in the presence of uncertainty, and machine learning.
