The course English for Academic and Professional Purposes aims to teach the students to communicate effectively in diverse academic and professional situations.
The course content covers five major headings: (1) Reading Academic Texts, (2) Writing the Reaction Paper/ Review/ Critique, (3) Writing the Concept Paper, (4) Writing the Position Paper and, (5) Writing the Survey/ Field/ Laboratory/ Scientific/ Technical Report.
This course, using both lecture and laboratory practice,
introduces students to basic computer concepts in hardware, software, networking, computer
security, programming, database, e-commerce, decision support systems, and other emerging
technologies such as blogs, wiki, RSS, podcasting, and Google applications. Additional lectures
examine social, legal, ethical issues including privacy, intellectual property, health concerns, green
computing, and accessibility. Students learn techniques to search, evaluate, validate, and cite
information found online. Widely used applications including word processing, spreadsheets,
databases, presentation, and web development software are studied.
The General Mathematics course introduces fundamental math concepts. The topics include whole numbers, operations on whole numbers, fractions, decimals, ratios, rates, and proportions.
Core Subject Description: This learning area is designed to provide a general background for the understanding of Earth Science and Biology. It presents the history of the Earth through geologic time. It discusses the Earth’s structure, composition, and processes. Issues, concerns, and problems pertaining to natural hazards are also included. It also deals with the basic principles and processes in the study of biology. It covers life processes and interactions at the cellular, organism, population, and ecosystem levels.
System analysis and design deal with planning the development of information systems through understanding and specifying in detail what a system should do and how the components of the system should be implemented and work together.
Subject Description: This course focuses on the application of scientific knowledge and the solution of practical problems in a physical environment. It is designed to bridge the gap between theoretical science and daily living.

This course introduces World Wide Web as a fundamental information and application platform for today’s information systems. Students will examine core aspects of web technologies and web applications, and will develop usable websites. Independent research on an assigned topic is also required.
College Algebra is the introductory course in algebra. The course is designed to familiarize learners with fundamental mathematical concepts such as inequalities, polynomials, linear and quadratic equations, and logarithmic and exponential functions.
Developing and managing efficient and effective database applications requires understanding the fundamentals of database management systems, techniques for the design of databases, and principles of database administration. This course emphasized database concepts, developments, use and management in three main sections: database concepts, practice, and emerging trends. Relational database systems are the main focus, but other types, including object- oriented databases, are studied. Practical design of databases and developing database applications using modern software tools will be emphasized.
Computers cannot interpret mathematical values and functions as continuous values to how they were built and developed. This course will provide the students with a background on discrete mathematical structures and how it is applied to Computer Science.
