Essential Computer Science for Global LeadersⅠto begin on April 11, 2018 (Location changed)

Posted on 2018/03/20

 Class List of Spring Semester 2018

“Essential Computer Science for Global LeadersⅠ” will begin on April 11. This is a compulsory class for students who are 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. BasharComputer science and engineering is an emerging discipline in the current epoch of human history. Along with electronics, it drives the information revolution following industrial and agricultural revolutions. In the recent years, it has become an indispensable discipline, playing active roles in almost all social sectors: medical, engineering, business, laws, social sciences, sciences and humanities. 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 and related sciences. Although computer science graduates have some knowledge, future leaders from other disciplines need to be prepared for facing complex challenges ahead. Attention will therefore be given to simplify various key concepts using discussions, examples and practices. Besides essential foundations, the recent trends will also be investigated in order to keep track of the fast growing discipline ever.

Message to Students

Although e-Computer Science-1 is designed as an interdisciplinary course, students from both fundamental and applied sciences will be benefited. However, regular attendance is important to grasp key concepts of this course. All references are not mandatory. Follow lectures in relaxed mode.
N.B. Contents of the topics may be altered subject to necessity
