The main concepts discussed are: Objects, Data Abstraction, Data Encapsulation, Polymorphism, and Inheritance with practical implementation using contemporary programming language constructs. The aim is to familiarise students to the object-oriented programming paradigm, analysis and software development. The programming skills are further enhanced by teaching data structures and algorithms underpinning efficient manipulation, storage and retrieval of data. Students are exposed to the concepts of time and space complexity of computer programs.<\/p>\n<p>The module introduces object-oriented design, history and advantages of the paradigm, classes, objects, data encapsulation, constructors, destructors, access modifiers, function overloading, operator overloading, association of classes: composition, aggregation and inheritance; polymorphism, abstract classes and interfaces, generic programming concepts, data and object serialization using object streams and exception handling. The module further familiarizes students with concepts of creating, storing, retrieving, ordering, and manipulation of abstract data structures and the basics of analysis of algorithms and growth of functions. Concepts of linked lists, stacks, queues, trees and graphs are discussed along with recursion and divide and conquer algorithms. Techniques of sorting (selection, insertion, merge, quick, bubble, heap and radix etc.), priority queues, sorted linked lists, binary search, traversal of trees and graphs, greedy algorithms, spanning trees, hashing and indexing are discussed and practical implementation of these using a contemporary programming language is demonstrated.<\/p>\n<p>The focus of this module is on developing algorithmic thinking, object-oriented programming knowledge, skills and understanding based on medium complexity programmes. Emphasis is placed on practical work with the aim of ensuring that theory covered in lectures is reinforced by practical programming tasks.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details><details name=\"module-year-1\" class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-arrow\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"has-white-background-color has-blue-color\">\n\t\t\t\t\tFundamentals of Systems and Networking\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon-arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path fill=\"inherit\" d=\"M432.6 209.3l-191.1 183.1C235.1 397.8 229.1 400 224 400s-11.97-2.219-16.59-6.688L15.41 209.3C5.814 200.2 5.502 184.1 14.69 175.4c9.125-9.625 24.38-9.938 33.91-.7187L224 342.8l175.4-168c9.5-9.219 24.78-8.906 33.91 .7187C442.5 184.1 442.2 200.2 432.6 209.3z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-details__content has-stone-color has-white-background-color pl-4 pr-4 pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"is-block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"credits\">20 Credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"compulsary\">(Compulsory)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This module will introduce students to concepts involved in the fundamentals of computer networking and security.

Typical applications include: computer vision, speech recognition, and intelligent robots. The learning models come in various forms, such as parametric and non-parametric and probability distributions. The emphasis is on creating these models automatically from data provided and for them to act without necessarily being explicitly programmed, for example, creating a face recognition system from a data set of facial images. In the past decade, machine learning has given society effective web search, self-driving cars, practical speech recognition, and an understanding of the human genome.<\/p>\n<p>In this module, students will learn about the most effective machine learning techniques, and gain practice in implementing them successfully. Additionally, students will learn about the theoretical underpinnings of machine learning. Topics covered include: concepts of statistics &amp; probability, supervised learning, unsupervised learning, matrix operations, backpropagation using partial derivatives, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, support vector machines and best practices in machine learning.

Focus is primarily upon the application of deep learning to problems, with some introduction to mathematical foundations, and implementation of algorithms using programming languages.<\/p>\n<p>In this module, students will learn about the most effective machine learning techniques, and gain practice in implementing them successfully. Additionally, students will learn about the theoretical underpinnings of machine learning. Topics covered include: supervised learning, unsupervised learning and best practices in machine learning. Case studies and applications will be used to illustrate best practice in deep learning.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details><details name=\"module-year-3\" class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-arrow\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"has-white-background-color has-blue-color\">\n\t\t\t\t\tNatural Language Processing\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon-arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path fill=\"inherit\" d=\"M432.6 209.3l-191.1 183.1C235.1 397.8 229.1 400 224 400s-11.97-2.219-16.59-6.688L15.41 209.3C5.814 200.2 5.502 184.1 14.69 175.4c9.125-9.625 24.38-9.938 33.91-.7187L224 342.8l175.4-168c9.5-9.219 24.78-8.906 33.91 .7187C442.5 184.1 442.2 200.2 432.6 209.3z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-details__content has-stone-color has-white-background-color pl-4 pr-4 pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"is-block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"credits\">20 Credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"compulsary\">(Compulsory)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This module will provide students opportunity to understand and apply computational techniques to analyse and synthesize natural language and speech.

These devices are then connected to a computer, either physically, via wireless or through the cloud, communicating live data. This computer will then utilise machine or deep learning in the cloud. This field of study is referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT).<\/p>\n<p>This module will cover the context and the history of the IoT, the hardware, communications protocols and security systems it relies on, and the cloud-side analytics that makes sense of the data produced. It will provide practical hands-on experience of common IoT devices (sensors, actuators, microcontrollers) and examine a range of commercial platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Students will work with a Wi-Fi microcomputer and will program live IoT applications using that device. Students will have the opportunity to produce their own IoT device with a range of hardware and capabilities. Emphasis is placed on the versatility of components that can be integrated into such systems, as well as the diversity of data types produced by IoT edge nodes. Development of IoT applications also requires communication between different level (layers) of IoT architecture with the associated security and privacy issues.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details><details name=\"module-year-3\" class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-block is-icon-arrow\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"has-white-background-color has-blue-color\">\n\t\t\t\t\tCloud Application Development\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon-arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path fill=\"inherit\" d=\"M432.6 209.3l-191.1 183.1C235.1 397.8 229.1 400 224 400s-11.97-2.219-16.59-6.688L15.41 209.3C5.814 200.2 5.502 184.1 14.69 175.4c9.125-9.625 24.38-9.938 33.91-.7187L224 342.8l175.4-168c9.5-9.219 24.78-8.906 33.91 .7187C442.5 184.1 442.2 200.2 432.6 209.3z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-details__content has-stone-color has-white-background-color pl-4 pr-4 pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"is-block\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"credits\">20 Credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"compulsary\">(Compulsory)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This module aims to introduce students to the paradigm of cloud computing, where technology-related functions are provided as a service to users in order to perform resource-intensive tasks such as data analysis and machine learning.
