The Advanced Diploma in Science cum BS
Degree (Information Systems Engineering)
course aims to provide students with greater
depth of knowledge and practical skills in the
field of software engineering and networking
communications. |
As our daily lives are heavily dependent on
computer systems, it is important to have systems that are reliable
and safe especially when they are used in safety-critical situations
such as industrial plants, financial institutions and health-care
areas. Due to these needs, the course is designed to equip students
with software engineering practice and project management skills
and knowledge. Some of the specialised areas covered in this course
are network communications, software project management, distributed
computer systems and operating systems. Students in this course
will be provided with industry-relevant knowledge and skills such
as networking, Java, Macromedia Flash, ActionScript, ASP.Net (C#),
UML (Rational XDE), Linux, Oracle, socket programming and web services.
In addition, the Cisco CCNA curriculum is incorporated into this
course. |
With the opportunity for students to go for
six months industrial training, students will be
exposed to real-life industrial problems, which will
be both challenging and rewarding in terms of the
invaluable experience that they will gain.
Students are trained to improve their problem
solving skills so that they would be able to blend
into the workforce easily. |
| Academic and Professional Progression |
| Graduates have been accepted into postgraduate studies in many universities. | |
The Advanced Diploma in Science
(Information Systems Engineering) is recognised as suitable for
progression to a Sheffield Hallam University (SHU) or Liverpool
John Moores University (JMU), UK degree with prior credit. Advanced
Diploma graduates of this programme can obtain the BSc (Hons) Information
Technology or BSc (Hons) Information Technology (Computer Systems
& Networks or Software Engineering) Degree from SHU or BSc (Hons)
Computing and Information Systems Degree from JMU by completing
the final semester of the programme at the respective university. |
