Module description

This module aims to provide students with practical knowledge/skills for using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) technologies for Urban Planning issues and assessing planning effects on local, regional and global level. This implies to build upon the theoretical and practical knowledge/skills gained in the two lower years in GIS to include methodologies and tools that integrate various spatial analysis and modeling techniques for urban planning. This will be achieved through the introduction of analytical methods of urban/regional factors, spatial modeling processes and visualization of results.

 Learning Outcomes

Having successfully completed the module, students should be able to:

1. Understand and explain the use of GIS for urban planning applications (urban management, accessibility, service location planning, site selection, transportation, urban infrastructure, land suitability, laud use zoning, impact assessment (social, economic, environmental), strategic planning, disaster management) in Rwanda and elsewhere
2. Define the kind of spatial data needed for research/applications related to urban   planning
3. Understand the steps for the development of (spatial) database and information system for Urban planning
4. Develop basic skills of error and uncertainty in URP analysis and modeling
5. Use GIS software in analyzing, diagnosing, and predicting problems and issues related to urban   planning
6. Design methodologies for urban information systems and use appropriate GIS software in solving identified problems or issues in the field of urban planning;
7. Search and use available spatial data related to urban   planning in Rwanda and the region
8. Work with satellite data and apply basic methods for spatial analysis for solving urban planning related problems
9. GIS tools for querying and visualization in urban context: database queries, parcel queries, etc.

In this module, the student acquires extensive/broad knowledge of the anatomical structures of the head, the neck, and the brain of the human body; their functions and correlate that to clinical conditions.

1.     Graduate Attributes & Learning Outcomes

A. Knowledge and Understanding

Having successfully completed this module, students should be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:

1.      Anatomical structures and functions of the neck, head, and the brain;

2.      Structures, and functions of the neck, head and the brain;

3.      Structures of the neck, the head and the brain on anatomical preparations; and

4.      Topographic relations between structures of the neck, the head and the brain.

This module equips learners with knowledge and skills needed to assess the basic health status of individuals of varying ages. These skills can be applied to nursing care in a wide variety of clinical settings. This module emphasizes history taking and physical examination skills. Learning Objectives 1. Knowledge and understanding: Upon completion of this module, the learner will be able to: 1.1. Review knowledge of anatomy and physiology of body systems to recognize normal and abnormal findings 2. Cognitive/Intellectual skills/Application of knowledge: 2.1. Recognize signs and symptoms of patients which need emergency interventions and report on time 2.2.Perform a complete health assessment through history taking, and complete physical assessment 2.3. Apply knowledge of anatomy and physiology to recognize normal and abnormal findings 2.4. Demonstrate an awareness of the need to incorporate health assessment as part of general nursing practice. 3.Communication/ICT/Numeracy/Analytic techniques/Practical skills: 3.1. Record findings in an appropriate manner.

This module explores the concepts of ubiquitous computer and technologies to provide assertive support in the population. It explores the use of telemedicine and e-Health solutions for medical support. This is underpinned by an exploration of wireless technologies.

Welcome to Health measurement and Research Module!

This module intends to empower the learners with ability to understand and design health research study using appropriate research method and analytical techniques.

Health management is considered an important skill area for Environmental Health

professionals. This Health Management module thus forms one of the core module

of the bachelor’s degree in Environmental Health. The module covers three key

management areas: principles of management, planning and resource management; health systems in Rwanda and quality assurance. Through exploring these areas, the module aims to provide information and assistance at a practical level, continually referring the student to management issues within their own context. As management is cross-cutting in relation to other Public Health fields, the student is also expected to relate much of the

management study material to the contexts of the other program modules.

This course aims to equip students with knowledge and skill .................

This module explores the concepts of ubiquitous computer and technologies to provide assertive support in the population. It explores the use of telemedicine and e-Health solutions for medical support. This is underpinned by an exploration of wireless technologies.

This module provides an overview of Information Technology (IT) solutions in an organizational context. It will familiarize learners with common terminologies and concepts in health, healthcare, and public health. Students will be equipped with knowledge of foundational techniques and technologies to understand key issues application in research and practice in healthcare.

Quantitative Research methods is a unit of the module entitled Research Methodology. This module covers a wide range of methods and writing techniques of research in the areas of health informatics and this range from epidemiology data, analysis and mapping to measure patient outputs following medical interventions. It also covers the advanced methodological aspects of medical application development in a digital-era. This module will equip students with knowledge and skills required for research data analysis and interpreting statistical results.

The unit of Quantitative Research Methods in this module introduces students to a range of topics. One of these topics is the foundations of scientific knowledge. this topic covers: the role of research in advancing scientific knowledge, the forms of scientific reasoning, research paradigms, characteristics of research, and types of research. The unit also helps students to uncover quantitative research as a process of investigation.  Students also develop skills on developing a quantitative research proposal. Furthermore, this unit allows students to sharpen skills on data collection, analysis and research report writing techniques. in this unit, students benefits from practical exercises on using a reference management tool (Mendeley) and a software for quantitative data management and analysis (IBM SPSS). The unit also introduces students to ethical guidelines governing the research involving human subjects. Finally, this unit helps students the process of disseminating research results and drafting a journal manuscript.

The course provides the students with a clear understanding of ICT concepts, manage files and folders, create text processing documents and spreadsheet documents using formulas, database management and produce graphical representation of mathematical and statistical data while being able to communicate/interact with mates and/or tutors using internet features (web browsing and email communications)

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF AIMS AND CONTENT

This module aims at preparing the students for the understanding of African archaeology by looking at its specificities in time and in space. The content of this module will revolve around prehistory and archaeology. The main focus will be on the emergence of human kind in Africa, basic human culture, stone age and iron age.
