Students gain experience programming in an assembly language to reinforce these systems and design concepts.

Data Structures an Algorithms are at the heart of Computer Science. This module intends to provide an in-depth coverage of data structures and Algorithms, including the asymptotic analysis of algorithms and the common algorithms techniques (Divide and Conquer, Greedy Algorithms, Dynamic Programming). 

This course presents general issues of programming languages unlike Computer Programming which mostly tells about certain programming language (e.g. C and C++). As a result of studying this course the students will be able not only apply their practical programming skills but also understand main principles those lay in the base of any programming language. This course helps them to switch easily from one programming language to another. Since it is impossible to teach students all programming languages, present and future, this ability is very important for modern computer engineers. We guess that the future will show a variety of innovative programming languages. Students get familiar with different kinds of Programming Languages and their comparison.  The topics include the history of the development of languages, different programming paradigms, imperative, functional, logic, object-oriented languages, aims, objectives and principles of language design; aims, objectives and approaches of translation etc

In this module, students will explore some of the current and new technologies that support multimedia systems on the Web as well as some of the theoretical issues that underlie their development and use. The practical strand of the subject aims to help students improve their technical skills in digital media by exploring the scripting language underlying technologies. Much of the subject addresses the issue of how information should be presented rather than how it can be presented.

This module provides an essential study of computer security issues and methods in networking systems.
