This course will provide new and emerging paradigms for data intensive computing and storage platforms. Data-intensive computing and cloud computing have become important forms of computing nowadays with the internet acting as the backbone. This paradigm of data storage on remote sites and harnessing the computing power of the internet is envisaged to grow into dominant roles.
This course will cover several important areas of modern bioinformatics and computational biology for students specializing in bioinformatics drawn from biomedical engineering with strong computer science or engineering backgrounds. They would be exposed to advanced computational tools and scripting languages for bioinformatics research.
This course will highlight latest research in the emerging field of cyber-physical systems. Cyber-physical systems are a class of networked embedded systems where sensing, computation and actuation are integrated with the dynamics of the physical environment. Recent years havewitnessed a proliferation of embedded systems.
This course will provide an in-depth treatment of the recent and emerging trends in computer systems engineering. A primary aim of this course therefore will be to educate students in the art of critical thinking: the ability to argue for and/or against a particular approach or idea. This will be done by having students read and critique a set of papers each week.The course will cover areas such as operating systems, database systems, file systems, parallel and distributed systems and networking.
The PhD seminar IV course focuses on thesis findings report and presentations. Each candidate will be required to make presentations of preliminary thesis findings of the research. The candidate’s report and presentation will be evaluated and assessed.
The PhD seminar III course focuses on progress report presentations on the research undertaken by students. Each candidate will be required to submit a formal report and make presentations of his/her preliminary findings of the approved PhD research work. The thesis progress report will be evaluated and assessed.
The PhD seminar II course focuses on research and experiential learning presentation by PhD candidates. The student will be expected to submit a report, make presentation and share experiences and lessons learnt with Senior/Faculty members during the second year of his PhD Programme. This seminar incorporates strong industrial and academia collaboration leading to solution of industry-level problems through research. The candidate’s report and presentation will be evaluated and assessed.
The PhD seminar I course focuses on development of the skill of PhD candidates to enable them reach the research frontier of the discipline through identification of research topics, submitting a report and making presentations on selected topics of recent interest in the field of computer engineering.The identified research topics by candidates for their PhD programme will be presented in the form of a seminar, which will be evaluated and assessed by senior/faculty members.
FAEN 702 Advanced Project Management and Quality Control This course will provide students the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully manage increasingly complex project issues to meet desired organizational goals and objectives. Topics to be covered include strategies for avoidance of costly mistakes in project execution, dealing with evolving stakeholder expectations, using trend analysis to measure project.
The doctoral thesis involves a candidate working closely under the guidance of a supervisor(s) in the Department to investigatean approved original project idea from the candidate’s preferred field of specialization, and writing a thesis. The investigation will include a comprehensive review of related works reported in scholarly articles, formulation and development of necessary concepts, implementation, testing, study of the implications of work and potential application.
