Course Description
This course aims to equip students who are not specializing in computing with the necessary skills to design and write simple computer programs of practical use in a commercially popular programming language. The course aims to overcome the well known “programming problem” - students’ fear of writing a program from scratch - by teaching the use of a design method that allows program construction to be broken down into a series of manageable steps. The course aims to inculcate good programming habits from the beginning by emphasizing the need for written specifications and the use of documentation and testing tools in development environment. The object oriented aspects of the programming language (if they exist) will only be introduced to the extent necessary to allow working programs to be created in the subset of the full language used in the course. This course could be given using any programming language. Which means that throughout this document programming language refers to Java, development environment refers to Eclipse, documentation tools refers to Javadocs.

Course Description
This course covers the basic science behind the use of computers to provide effective and efficient methods for carrying out tasks. Tasks examined include data storage and retrieval, sorting and searching. To carry out these tasks, both algorithms and structures for the storage of data need to be specified. Mathematical tools have to be developed that enable us to measure the fundamental effectiveness of algorithms and in particular the way these algorithms scale as the size of the task being performed increases. This course introduces the basic sorting and searching methods and dynamic data structures such as linked lists, trees and hash tables.

Course Description
The course is designed to teach the fundamentals of computer graphics focusing on the current dominant interactive 3D rendering pipeline of rasterization. The course topics are however more general and do not depend on any specific rendering approach or API. The course also includes an introduction to curves and splines. These fundamentals are applied in modern OpenGL demonstrations, lab exercises and assignments. This will give students both, an understanding of rendering techniques and a working knowledge of OpenGL which they can apply cross-platform; desktop, mobile and web. This course emphasizes learning how to architect and write graphics software, rather than on learning how to use existing tools to create images.

Course Description
The aim of this course is to provide an analytic study of programming languages. The course develops this study by looking primarily at interpreters of programming languages. This course examines the fundamental differences between different programming paradigms, through a study of how to build interpreters for the different models. On completion of the course, the student should have gained an understanding of the role of interpreters in defining the syntax and semantics of various programming paradigms.

Course Description
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an important field of study with a wide spread of applications; AI systems are currently capable of understanding speech, playing chess and performing household tasks. In this module we will investigate questions about AI systems such as: how to represent knowledge, how to effectively generate appropriate sequences of actions and how to search among alternatives to find optimal or near-optimal solutions. We will also explore how to deal with uncertainty in the world, how to learn from experience, and how to learn decision rules from data.

Course Description
Machine learning concerns the construction of systems that can learn from data. We need learning every time we cannot directly write a computer program to solve a given task; e.g. programs that learn to recognize human faces, to digitalize an acoustic speech signal and/or written carachters, and to drive autonomous robots. This course covers the theory and practical algorithms for machine learning focusing on classification and dimensionality reduction.
