Fundamentals of Programming
The course covers the use of general purpose programming language to solve problems. The emphasis is to train students to design, implement, test, and debug programs intended to solve computing problems using fundamental programming constructs. By the end of the course, students are expected to demonstrate proficiency in Python programming by designing and developing a functional software application. This system must effectively apply core programming concepts discussed in the course, including problem analysis, algorithm design, control structures, data structures, and debugging techniques.

The student is expected to develop websites and web applications integrating the concepts of HTML/CSS.
CSAM 112 Linear Algebra 25-1
This
course covers matrices, matrix operations and properties and determinants,
vector spaces, linear transformations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and
diagonalization.
CSAM 211 Ordinary Differential Equations 25-1
This
course begins with the basic concepts and definitions on mathematical models
and applications of differential equations to real-world problems. The focus is
to teach you how to model the world in terms of differential equations, and how
to solve equations and interpret the solutions in computing. Topic includes First-order
and higher-order differential equations, along with the methods of solutions
and their applications are introduced. Modeling with higher-order, and systems
of linear first-order differential equations are also covered. Numerical
methods are covered throughout the course. At the end, students learn series
solutions of ordinary differential equations and evaluate how it is applied in
real life.

The course is an
introduction to concepts and techniques in Robotics using Arduino Technology. Topics covered include electricity and electronics, analog
and digital signals, basic test instruments, Arduino for robotics, components
assembly, sensors, and programming. Upon course completion, one major learning
output will be developed, a type of robot explorer capable of following given
tracks.
Digital Image Processing
Cameras and digital sensors becoming integral parts of the emerging technologies, it is vital for computer and data scientists to master various techniques for analyzing and processing data from these sensors. This course aims to equip students with a robust understanding of digital image processing methods and algorithms used to enhance images and video streams. Throughout the semester, students will explore topics such as image digitization, image representation, convolution filters, 2D and 3D signal processing, Fourier transforms, image sampling and resampling, grayscale operations, segmentation, morphology, thinning, edge detection, image restoration, biomedical imaging, and image compression. Concepts will be presented through lectures and practical examples, and projects will offer hands-on experience in applying these concepts to real-world challenges.
