Technology and information system

As a primer subject, this course will introduce students to information systems and technology (IS/IT) and its uses at home and work. Various aspects of IS/IT encompassing hardware, software, network and communications will be introduced. Students will be equipped with basic skills in handling PC installation and productivity tools via practical work in the labs, which shall comprise a major part of the study. This class also conducts industrial visits and talks as a part of work-based learning. Both industrial visits and talks will expose students to a real working environment, gain knowledge from the industry and increase engagement between university and the industry. The student also needs to briefly explore the requirements and job specifications for a career in IT. All students are assigned into groups of 4 or 5 members to work on the assignments together.
