Lecture Room 105

The  design  and  development  of displays,  alarms,  and  interfaces  for  small  or  large screens is an activity captured in the study of the human computer interface and in a study of human computer interaction. This discipline is increasingly software based and design needs require guidance by insights from psychology and informed by an appreciation  of  human  diversity  including  matters  such  as  colored  blindness  and deafness; in these circumstances, multimedia approaches often have a role to play   

This course covers both hardware and software, providing students with the skills and knowledge to build, repair and upgrade computer systems. It also provides a useful introduction to networks and network security.   

Many  computer  applications  are  confronted  with  ever  increasing  volumes  of  data which must be

Theory  and  implementation  of  a  variety  of  techniques  used  to  simulate  intelligent behavior. Expert systems, fuzzy logic, neural networks, evolutionary computation, and two-player  game-tree  search  will  be  covered  in  depth.  Knowledge  representation, pattern recognition, hybrid approaches, and handling uncertainty will also be discussed    

The Sustainable Energy Systems course is designed to equip graduates and working professionals  with  a  broad  training  in,  and  understanding  of,  energy  production, delivery,   consumption,   efficiency,   economics,   policy   and   regulation.   These  are considered  in  the  context  of  the  sustainability  of  energy  supply  and  consumption patterns, both locally and globally. A unique feature of the course is its broad approach to the development of sustainable routes to the generation and supply of energy within which renewable energy is a key theme   

The content is designed  to provide the foundations  with which the operation of laser devices may be understood  at  the mechanistic  level.  Together  with skills  acquired  in related  courses  in the Computer Engineering degree program, this provides the student with the skill base to approach the next level of accomplishment, namely where they may be required to design and construct a laser-based device in a professional situation   

This   course   introduces   students   to   advanced   network   concepts   with application to wireless technologies.  They will be introduced to various the wireless and mobile network- technologies and protocols with an emphasis on their utilization in various real world computing and communications situations   

Speech  processing  has  been  one  of  the  main  application  areas  of  digital  signal processing for several decades now, and as new technologies like voice over IP, automated  call  centers,  voice  browsing  and  biometrics  find  commercial  markets, speech seems set to drive a range of new digital signal processing techniques for some time  to  come.    

Drawing from the concepts covered in Engineering Mathematics I and II, this course is designed  to  consolidate  and  advance  analytical  techniques  for  solution  of ordinary differential  equations;  and  introduces  concepts  fundamental  to  the  study  of  other courses   in  Computer   Engineering.   The  major   themes   covered   include   integral transforms, series solutions to ordinary differential equations and special functions. 

Entrepreneurship is a specialized business course designed to provide students  the skills needed to effectively organize, develop, create, and
