APU-DMU Dual Degree Scheme

Course Description

This programme is specifically designed to provide students with:

  • The knowledge to design, engineer, and develop IoT- based solutions using various platforms in a broader and vendor neutral perspective.
  • An understanding of important insights on sensor devices, internet based technologies, wireless communications, and cloud computing.
Curriculum

DEGREE LEVEL 1

Students will learn fundamental skills required by every IT professional, and the basic understanding of the underlying computer system through Computer Architecture, operating systems, networking and databases. Some specialised modules will provide them basic knowledge of programming and Internet of Things (IoT). The modules will also help them develop personal and organisational skills, as well as nurture creativity and innovation.

Common Modules

  • Introduction to Management
  • System Analysis & Design
  • Fundamentals of Software Development
  • Mathematical Concepts for Computing
  • Operating Systems & Computer Architecture
  • Introduction to Networking
  • Introduction to Databases
  • Introduction to C Programming

Specialized Modules

  • Introduction to IoT
  • Instrumentation & Measurement

 

DEGREE LEVEL 2

A broader range of skills will be learnt, in which students will gain better understanding of the broad range of Internet of Things technologies, which include networking, systems programming and security. They will gain solid understanding of IoT as an enabler for an organisation. We will further nurture their creativity and innovation as well as independent learning to prepare them for the workplace.

Common Modules

  • Object Oriented Development with Java
  • System Development Methods
  • Programming for Data Analysis

INTERNSHIP (16 weeks)

After the completion of Level 2 students will undertake a short Internship / Industrial Training. This will prepare them for a smooth transition from the classroom to the world of Computer Science.

 

DEGREE LEVEL 3

Students will make use of their previous studies and industrial experience to extend their familiarity in the field of Internet of Things (IoT) and to refine their personal and professional development. Students will move further into the frameworks and planning techniques for strategic management of cloud-based IoT systems in organisations. A final year project requires them to investigate and develop a solution for a real-world problem – they will demonstrate their ability to combine technical knowledge, critical thinking and analytical skills to produce a personal achievement portfolio.
