Introductory Microeconomics is to equip students and stand as foundation in their learning of economics

The primary aim of this module is to make students gain a detailed understanding of how the investment process works to maximize the investor’s returns, to make investment goals and objectives within a risk tolerance. This module makes investing less difficult, by clearly explaining the risk and return concepts, various investment terms; by elucidating the possible investment alternatives; and by discussing many of the techniques professional use to value assets/securities and to conduct diversified portfolios that increase investor’s chance of making informed decisions.

The mission of IoT is to enable communication, and computation enabled devices on different networks to be able talk to each other using a common protocol. This will allow new and smart devices to be added to the Internet infrastructure. To offer connectivity between heterogeneous devices, systems and services, there is need of building middleware architectures that support their interoperability. There are several challenges in terms of turning the mission of IoT into reality. This includes architecture, communication, services, computational intelligence, storage, governance apart from core areas of sensor development and material engineering. This module will walk the students through the architecture and protocols that enable next generation Internet and the various middleware designs that are making IoT happen.

Most of the other Embedded Computing Systems modules provide students with an understanding on how to build hardware, software, communication protocols and cloud infrastructures that enable the Internet of Things (IoT). This module rather explores a broader perspective of IoT with focus on its applications and the value they create. The module will include studies around business modeling, market segmentation, and applications in trending areas such as agriculture, health, transportation, urbanization, energy and manufacturing. The main objective of this module is to closely examine emerging trends, markets, applications, technologies and skills required by graduate students exploring career opportunities in IoT

This module has been  developed for the secondary school teachers. It comprises three units. Unit one focuses on self-awareness, unit two on values formation, and unit three on professional ethics. Each unit has various topics and a range of activities for practical reflection.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF AIMS AND CONTENT

The aim of this course is to introduce the students to foreign policy as a concept in international relations. The course x-rays the components of foreign policy of independent states show-casing the factors that determine or affect the foreign policies of nations. The course also teaches the students the importance of foreign policy as guide of national actions in the international behaviour of sovereign states. The course further exposes students to the basic rules and regulations guiding decision-makers in foreign policy decision-making.

The course addresses the aspects needed to realize the vision of the Semantic Web through the use of Intelligent Agents. The traditional World Wide Web is an example of an application of computing on a global scale, thereby creating a Distributed Information Space. In order to be able to categorize, access and process the knowledge contained on the Web, the intelligent agents are required to sift and winnow data and information into knowledge. The course will survey enabling technologies for the semantic web and for linked data, including languages, tools and infrastructures for knowledge representation and rational agents. The role of intelligent agents will be studied in the Semantic Web framework.

This is a core module that seeks to introduce the basic concepts of financial Accounting, to enable learners appreciate the importance of accounting information in business decisions and to lay foundation for advanced studies in Accounting.

This course introduces the fundamental networking concepts, terminologies, and technologies used in modern data communication and computer networking. The course introduces the students the functions of different layers and IEEE standards employed in computer networking with different protocols and network components.

This course introduces students to concepts of security in computing. Security continually attracts attention from business managers and technology manager alike. Information has value and in the modern era of data communications & networks, potential exposure and loss are critical business considerations. As businesses become vigilant for security threats and breaches, managers will need an enhanced understanding of the kinds of tools( hardware & software) available to make their information, computers & networks less vulnerable. This course will examine the kinds of security practices and devices you can implement to guard against unauthorized access and information loss.
