Essential Computer Science for Global LeadersⅡto begin on October 7, 2019

 Class List of Fall Semester 2019

“Essential Computer Science for Global LeadersⅡ” will begin on October 7. This is a class for students in “Minor Course of Science and Technology for Global Leaders”. But all master’s & doctoral students can take it if you have interest. The class will be conducted in English.

Theme & Objective

Prof. BasharSteady increase of the deployment of computer systems in many real world applications made computer science and engineering an inevitable discipline in the current epoch of human history. Along with electronics, it drives the information revolution following industrial and agricultural revolutions. Future progress and the ultimate shape of this planet will largely depend on how the next generation global leaders are going to be equipped with essential knowledge on computer science and engineering. In this course, light will be shed on some advanced topics involving information security, artificial intelligence, the design and control of electronic devices for some real world applications.
