| Module Code | Module Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| MECS502 | Artificial Intelligence | This module enables students to develop a systematic understanding of the Artificial Intelligence domain and the associated research and professional skills necessary in practice. They will develop the expertise to plan, design and implement appropriate AI solutions in practical scenarios. |
| MECS503 | Data Communication and Networks | The module will provide students with the opportunity to gain a sound understanding of the internet protocol suite that forms the core for current data networks. The fusion of the internet world and multimedia is also addressed, as well as wireless communications. |
| MECS504 | Algorithms Analysis and Design | The module teaches the principles behind the algorithms and data structures. This module will cover a set of basic data structures and algorithms of common computing problems. This module will cover major algorithm design techniques and graph theory. |
| MECS505 | Computer Graphics | This module examines techniques for creating 2D and 3D designs using computer graphics software. Students gain experience representing designs using shading and texturing techniques. They practice using computer graphics programs in different situations and develop skills allow students to practice many different computer graphics techniques using software such as Adobe After Effects to add texture, lighting, and shading to designs |
| MECS501 | Software Engineering | The module teaches the principles of modern software engineering, together with the tools, methods and techniques that support their application. It offers working professionals the opportunity to learn more about the technological advances that are always changing in the field of computing |
| MECS506 | Culture and Language in Science Education |
This module makes students aware of the effects of the culture of science, culture of school science, culture of science classrooms, and cultures of individual actors in the science educative process so that they take appropriate mitigating actions in order for learners to enjoy the learning of science. The module also examines the role of the medium of instruction in the teaching and learning of science |
| MECS570 | Dissertation | The module provides students with range of tools, approaches, strategies, data collection methods and concepts that are necessary in educational research It provides them with the knowledge and abilities to undertake their own research. The module also focuses on a wide range of quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection and data analysis and prepares students to carrying out meaningful educational research. The module prepares students on issues related to language, referencing, writing style, lay-out when writing a research report and also how to write a comprehensive research proposal. Students will be exposed to various computer mediated tools such as tools and technologies for data collection and analysis |
