Pre-requisite(s): None

Course Description:
An introduction to the building blocks and organisation of modern digital computers. The course answers the question: How does a computer work? Topics include: historical development of computing and the von Neumann model; data representation in computer systems; Boolean algebra, digital logic and its application to understanding Central Processing Unit (CPU) organisation; combinational and sequential circuits; Finite State Machine (FSM); Instruction Set Architecture (ISA); Assembly Language Programming; other basic modules, such as cache memory, virtual memory, and input/output techniques.

Pre-requisite(s): None

Course Description:
This course provides students with basic knowledge of computer-oriented problem solving methodologies, algorithm development, structured programming concepts and design techniques, and implementation tools that facilitate debugging and testing. In particular, structured programming skills will be illustrated with a contemporary programming language.

Course Description:
This course develops students' knowledge of data structures and their associated algorithms. It introduces the concepts and techniques of structuring and operating on Abstract Data Types in problem solving. Common sorting, searching and graph algorithms will be discussed, and their complexity studied.

Pre-requisite(s): None

Course Description:
This course introduces object-oriented programming concepts, principles, and techniques, including classes, objects, inheritance, and polymorphism. All these concepts are illustrated using a contemporary object-oriented programming language. Upon completion, students should be able to use an object-oriented language to develop complex programmes.

Pre-requisite(s):
COMP1023 FOUNDATIONS OF C PROGRAMMING, and
COMP2013 OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING

Course Description:
This workshop aims to have the students learn independent design, research, and coding on data analysis. It will help the students understand the concept of data analysis process. By processing data, students will learn how to collect data, clean data, process and visualize data. One or two programming languages will be introduced during the course. They could be Python, or any other new technologies.

Pre-requisite(s):
