Semester 2

Prerequisite:FPMP0003
This course is a first common math course at diploma level for all specializations except pharmacy and design; it plays an important role in the understanding of science, engineering, economics, computer science, and other disciplines. The course covers the quite familiar basic calculus concepts like limits and continuity, derivatives, optimization, definite integrals, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions,and techniques of integration. The course contents are explored to the students through problem solving, to understand them better, and to improve the ability to apply them in real time

Prerequisite:CSCM1101
This course provides fundamental programming concepts and techniques using high level programming language. In this course student will create programs which include variables, loops, decision making and different types of functions and data collections. Student will develop programs that can handle data files and include exception handling. In addition, the student will be able to produce a simple web application program.   

 

Prerequisite:CSCM1101
This course discusses the basic facilities provided by the operating system. Students will be familiarized with the functions of operating systems, including process management (processes, threads, context switch, concurrency control, synchronization, scheduling, deadlocks, etc.), primary memory management, virtual memory management, file systems, resource allocation, and information protection. Students will rewrite fundamental parts of the UNIX/Linux user space.

Prerequisite:CSCN1104
This course gives a comprehensive understanding of information security concepts and security services. Students will be familiarized with various types of security threats and attacks on systems and explore security measures that can be used for dealing with risks and security breaches in computer and network systems.
