COURSE SYNOPSIS
CORE COURSES
SCSD2523 Database
This course introduces students to the concept of database system and
how it is used in daily human life and profession. The focus of the course
is to equip students with the knowledge and skills on important steps and
techniques used in developing a database, especially in the conceptual
and logical database design phase. Among topics covered are database
environment, database design, entity relationship diagram, normalization,
and structured query language (SQL). Students will be taught to use a
database management system (DBMS). Students are required to design
and develop the database component of an information system using the
learned techniques, DBMS and a development tool. At the end of the
course, students should be able to apply the knowledge of designing and
developing a good database system.
SCSB3103 Bioinformatics I
This course introduces the basic knowledge of Bioinformatics to students.
It includes theories, applications, and tools. Introduction to Bioinformatics
describes bioinformatics theories and tools that can help solve biological
problems. It also shows how to efficiently apply bioinformatics
applications to bioinformatics data and evaluate the resulting information.
SCSB3023 Bioinformatics II
This subject familiarizes students with resources essential in examining
how raw sequence data from genome sequencing projects can be used to
generate information about gene sequence, protein structures, molecular
evolution, biochemical, and genomics. It introduces existing DNA
sequence and protein structure concepts and theories. Students will be
exposed to bioinformatics methods and practices using appropriate
bioinformatics tools. The focus will be on preparing the students with
sufficient information, understanding and interpretation of biological data
that may help them to learn of bioinformatics methodologies.
