About
the Programme
No
one discipline effects the lives of people every such
as Electronic and Electrical Engineering. It is a
technology upon which nearly every human activity
depends in the modern world.
- At
home, electrical power provides a convenient and
clean source of heat and light and runs domestic
appliances; electronics and telecommunications are
fundamental to the operation of TV, radio and other
recreational equipment.
- For
industry, electrical power provides heat and mechanical
energy while electronics, communications and signal
processing allow the control and automation of most
manufacturing processes.
- For
Commerce, business and government have to deal with
an increasing flow of information in which the application
of electronics and communications techniques has
become dominant.
- In
hospitals, electronics and signal processing are
fundamental to the operation of modern medical equipment.
- The
entertainment field, electronics, telecommunications
and signal processing dominate the music industry,
multimedia and the internet, satellite TV and mobile
telephones.
This
well-established degree provides an integrated approach
to engineering, linking academic rigour, engineering
applications, and marketing and business skills to
prepare graduates for a range of exciting careers.
Engineering
is a problem-solving business and engineers use their
skills to produce practical and beneficial solutions.
This course provides a broad-based engineering education
with an emphasis on the practical application of theory
to solve real engineering problems.
The structure of the course allows for final year
specialisation delivered in Singapore.

IS352 Advanced Systems Development
The objective of the module is to provide an understanding
of the methodologies, tools and techniques used in
Systems development and to explain the need for a
systematic approach to Systems development. The students
will be familiarized with modeling tools such as data
flow diagrams with the help of scenario-based exercises.
The module also covers popular structured and object
oriented methodologies used in Systems development
and attempts a comparison between them.
Top
IT355 Object Oriented Programming & Design
The objective of this module is to provide an appreciation
of Unified Modeling Language as an object-oriented
approach to Software development. Students will be
introduced to object-oriented design tools and techniques
and will gain experience implementing an application
using an object-oriented programming language.
Top
PJ330 Project
Students could have a choice of implementing IT solutions
in businesses/organisations or research on contemporary
subjects of relevance to the IT industry. The emphasis
is on documentation of the learning experience provided
by an independent probing of a predefined problem/subject
area in an environment that employs IT.
Top
IT357 E-Commerce
This module provides students with an understanding
of the concepts of Electronic Commerce (EC) and its
implications in the business environment. The module
highlights include applications of EC, popular EC
models and the specifications of an EC environment
in terms of the infrastructure requirements as well
as other resources. Besides, the module will facilitate
appreciation of an EC interface tool as well as issues
involved in the setting up and use of an EC environment
from the business and client perspectives.
Top
IT353 Information Management
The module aims to provide a managerial perspective
of the increasing importance of Information Systems
in business organization, new and emerging responsibilities
of IS establishments and the issues arising in the
areas of operations, systems development, IS security,
outsourcing and end-user-training. In addition, the
students will also be exposed to a variety of approaches
in strategic planning of IS, reinforced through discussion
of relevant case studies.
Top
IT358 Data Warehousing
This module aims to provide a thorough understanding
of the fundamentals of data warehousing and focuses
on how a model a data warehouse. At the end of this
course, students should be able to identify the steps
needed to prepare data for data warehouse, critically
appraise an Information System and distinguish between
the need for a traditional database system or data
warehouse. Besides students should be able to understand
the setting up, operation and management of a data
warehouse and its development life cycle. They should
also be able to critically appraise existing data
warehouse including webhouses and identify good theoretical
and practical elements in them.
