SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives: • Helps the student explore current research/project topics in computer engineering
• Helps the student develop interest in certain areas of computer science and engineering for further studies and research
Course Content: The course is essentially self-learning driven. Students will themselves explore research topics in selected areas of computer science and engineering by reading research papers in these areas. In addition students will attend seminars delivered by guest speakers in order to gain insight in certain areas. The student will self-study the papers in his/her reading list and will deliver a report and a presentation. The role of the instructor will mainly be to guide the students and to coordinate the course activities.

Course Specific Rules

The course is composed of the following three components:
• Guided reading of research papers by the students
• Seminars delivered by guest speakers
• Seminars delivered by students

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are those describing the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. In this context, Course Learning Outcomes defined for this course unit are as follows:
Knowledge (Described as Theoritical and/or Factual Knowledge.)
  1) Increase the familiarity with recent and important research topics in the field of computer engineering
  2) Learns the main steps of giving a presentation and writing a research paper
Skills (Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)
  1) Demonstrate the ability to perform close and critical academical readings
  2) Identifies different methodologies to address research questions
  3) Performs presentations and learns methods to deliver an idea
  4) Analyze and be able to articulate the scientific advances and limitations of results described in the research literature.
Competences (Described as "Ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously with responsibility", "Learning to learn"," Communication and social" and "Field specific" competences.)

SECTION IV: TEACHING-LEARNING & ASSESMENT-EVALUATION METHODS OF THE COURSE

Teaching & Learning Methods of the Course

(All teaching and learning methods used at the university are managed systematically. Upon proposals of the programme units, they are assessed by the relevant academic boards and, if found appropriate, they are included among the university list. Programmes, then, choose the appropriate methods in line with their programme design from this list. Likewise, appropriate methods to be used for the course units can be chosen among those defined for the programme.)
