KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ABILITY:
Graduates acquire:
- sound knowledge of the central areas of computer science: algorithms, architectures, data bases, networks, languages and operating systems;
- knowledge of basic analysis and design of computer systems and databases;
- good background in mathematics and physics.
The above-listed knowledge and understanding abilities are achieved through attending lectures and practical activities, supervised and individual study at home as provided for in the individual course units and especially in the core curriculum subject areas MAT/01-MAT/09, FIS/01-FIS/03, INF/01 and ING-INF/05.
Assessment of these learning outcomes is accomplished mainly through written assignments and oral examinations.
ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND TO UNDERSTAND:
Graduates acquire:
- knowledge of the functioning and applications of the optimisation techniques of the main DBMS and the related languages;
- the ability to adapt to new situations;
- the ability to plan and manage their time.
Achieving the ability to apply the knowledge and understanding listed above is achieved through the critical study of texts proposed for study at home , stimulated during lectures and in the practical activities and group and individual projects.
Assessment of these abilities (by means of written and/or oral examinations, reports and practical exercises) requires the completion of specific tasks in which students demonstrate mastery of tools and methodologies and judgement skills.
JUDGEMENT SKILLS:
Graduates acquire :
- skills of discernment/judgement/evaluation in the medium and long-term of innovations in computer technologies;
- ability to summarise and analyse (in the general sense of the term);
- general logical and deductive abilities not directly connected to the context of computers (reasoning skills).
The activities, practical and laboratory exercises, as well as the individual and group projects, and the final thesis offer students the opportunity to develop decision-making and judgement skills independently. These activities foster the ability to find and evaluate information, data and literature.
Assessment of judgement skills is accomplished through the evaluation of the students at the end of each course unit, especially those including project work.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
Graduates achieve:
- ability to present scientific material and arguments both orally and in writing to a specialist audience;
- spoken and written skills in their mother-tongue;
- knowledge of a second language from among the major European languages;
- good team skills.
Communication skills are developed in the core course units that provide for the preparation of oral and written group projects and their subsequent oral presentation and during the assessments. Moreover, communication skills are acquired during the preparation of the final thesis and its dissertation . These learning outcomes are assessed in many ways, including orals, discussion of projects which includes the use of multi-media tools and computer presentations.
English is taught using e-learning.
LEARNING SKILLS:
Graduates:
- are able to keep constantly up-to-date regarding available computer tools;
- are able to work independently and to further their professional training.
The learning abilities acquired are a result of the entire period of study, especially during the students' individual study and individual project work and during the preparation of the activities related to the final dissertation .
Learning skills are continuously assessed during the course units, with importance being given to the respect of academic deadlines, the presentation of data collected independently and during project work in tutorials, as well as the appraisal of self-learning skills matured during the preparation of the final dissertation paper.
