UR - Elearning Platform

The aim of this unit is to provide the opportunity for students to become designer makers by exploring, at some depth, this specific craft in which they will use inspirational source material to design items of an advanced nature. The work will be based on a highly personal approach to innovative ideas and traditional techniques, requiring advanced practical skills in the creation of craft items.

Students will develop the ability to explore the craft and materials in new ways. A thorough knowledge of materials, processes and techniques will support and give an informed background to innovative practice.

Workbooks will record supporting knowledge – visual and written notes, sampled ideas and techniques where appropriate, diagrams and technical specifications on the development of design briefs, sources of inspiration, materials, processes and techniques.

Students evaluate the completed work, processes and techniques used, to inform future work.

In this studio-based course students will be given a good overview of the fashion industry and a foundation in a wide range of techniques. The course is a combination of structured teaching and informal workshop time. This basic design course encompasses the fashion design process from inspiration through ideation to production. Focus is on terminology, design elements and principles, the creative process of inspiration documentation and the ethical consideration in the fashion industry.

 Welcome to craft course. It is a dimension of product design option. The crafts course is concerned with the manipulation of conventional or non-conventional materials to produce user friendly items which are functional or decorative in nature. You will explore various design materials available from the immediate environment.

The student is to explore the role of jewelry in the society. These include social status, religious identification, beautification or decoration, appreciation of achievements of exemplary performances. The student design jewelry for a personas of their choice. They are supposed to use materials from the environment as sources of ideas.

This module aims at equipping pre-service students’ teachers with competences related to curriculum theory and development. It is learnt in year 2 undergraduate programmes of UR-CE in semester 1 every academic year. 

Educational technology (often abbreviated as EdTech) refers to the use of technology tools, resources, and strategies to enhance the learning process. It encompasses a wide range of applications, from digital tools like learning management systems (LMS) and online courses, to hardware like interactive whiteboards and personal devices, to innovative methods for teaching and learning.

The main goal of educational technology is to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and accessibility of education by integrating digital tools that support both teaching and learning processes.

This module aims at equipping student teachers with practical and professional competencies that enable them to understand and critique principles, foundations, theories, and models that inform curriculum development. It also engages student teachers, individually or with peers, in critically analyzing, reviewing and evaluating contemporary educational practices, issues and challenges in relation to curriculum design, implementation, evaluation and change at global, regional and national levels. Finally the module engages student teachers in proposing models for curriculum design, implementation, evaluation and change appropriate for Rwandan educational system.

Network Analysis is the analysis of electronic circuits , their design based on  different electronic components

This course discusses Computers and computer communication; problems of security, reliability; speeds, capacity measures, reliability measures; physical realities and the limitations; wireless possibilities; communications network architectures, computer network protocols; variants on the basic topologies; local and wide area networks; client server computing; data integrity and data security, problems and solutions; performance issues; network management; nature and special problems of mobile computing.

The course intends to provide the students with an introduction to the atmospheric processes which govern the earth’s climate and which control the surface water fluxes of the hydrological cycle, with a synoptic overview of the earth’s energy budget as a major driver for planetary-scale motion and atmospheric instabilities. This includes the issue of climate change, the possible reasons for climate change, and the natural variability of climate. Finally, it intends also to explain the synoptic and local processes that drive rainfall generation at different spatial and temporal scales and introduce global and regional climate models and their use in weather forecasts and climate change projections. It will finally look at how Human activities have effects on climate change and how they are changing rainfall patterns worldwide.

In this Java course, you will learn more in-depth concepts and syntax of the Java Programming language. Throughout this course, you will learn by building examples using the Ellipse IDE, which is supplied as a Learning Sandbox. Completion of this course gives you a basic understanding of Object-Oriented techniques in Java.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Demonstrate knowledge of basic algorithm constructs in Java.
• Develop and compile Java applications that utilize primitive data types, statements, expressions, and GUIs.
• Output and manipulate strings, fonts, and numbers.
• Apply decision logic and operational precedence to Java code.
• Implement multidimensional arrays, loops, and branching statements.
• Trace code for better software quality.

  This course introduces the  students to the fundamentals of ceramics and glasses. We aim to cover pertinent aspects of the processing, structure, technology, defect chemistry of different types of oxides are illustrated . Different processing techniques especially the Sintering of ceramic powders are mainly discussed. Hopefully, this course will also serve as a primer for more involved studies in ceramic engineering proper and thus lay the foundation for more detailed knowledge acquisition in Ceramic Materials and Engineering.
