COURSE OUTLINE Course Code: MCCM 1163 Course Name : Trends in ICT Applications and Systems Total Contact Hours: 45 hours Course Pre-requisite: None SYNOPSIS To introduce the current and upcoming technological knowledge and trends in ICT applications and systems. This includes (but not limited to) hardware, software and creative contents. Students will be exposed to various kinds of designs, developments, maintenance of hardware and software technology products and applications which include telecommunications, photonics, sensors and transducer. Business activities which cover multimedia content creation, processing, packaging and aggregation, post production, animation and virtual reality applications are also covered. By the end of this subject, it is hoped that students have much clearer picture of the technology involves in hardware, software and creative contents which would enable the advancement of their proposed idea.
LEARNING OUTCOMES By the end of the course, students should be able to: No.
