The goal of this unit is to make the student familiar with programming concepts and constructs. It will introduce students with programming concepts using the family of the C, C++ language. Major focus of the unit will be in algorithm design and problem solving. The first few weeks of the unit will concentrate on problem solving and algorithms and introduce concepts in programming, such a variables, control structures, functions, parameter passing, recursion, arrays, files and structures. Students will learn how to compile programmes, trace errors, and debugging using modern integrated development environments (IDE) on different operating systems.

The aim of the unit is present fundamental concepts of database management system including database design, database languages, and database system implementation. The fundamental concepts and algorithms covered in the unit are often based on those used in existing commercial or experimental database systems. The aim is to present these concepts and algorithms in a general setting that is not tied to one particular database system.

In this unit, students learn how leading edge enterprises manage themselves by utilizing information systems (IS) and the technology that makes IS work. Critical business processes are also investigated with the aim of exploiting technology and systems to leverage planned outcomes and goals. This unit is one of a growing number that de-emphasizes the traditional academic lecture in order to create an improved opportunity for students to critically analyze and creatively question alternative outcomes.
