Information Technology 1

This module is intended to be at an introductory level to provide the foundation skills in ICT, as well as to instill an ICT mindset in the students. It also enables them to appreciate the relevance and interrelationships of the different components of IT without being lost in the details. Specifically, this module covers wide variety of fundamental topics ranging from binary systems, the building blocks of hardware, the building blocks of software, how software and design and build, to database and security.

Students will be assessed on a series of laboratory exercises. In addition, numerous short ‘pop’ quizzes will be conducted during lectures and/or tutorials classes to encourage progressive and continuous learning. As this module consists of many hands-on components that will be assessed continuously, it will be a CA only module.
