THTR451-User Interaction Techniques in Design

Technology, science and capacity building are major pillars of the Means of Implementation of the Post-2015 Agenda and of the Rio+20 follow-up processes. In this unit students will Harness the digital age, as we are, after all, in the midst of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), a global era characterized by rapid advancements in new technologies and global connectivity. Artificial Intelligence (AI) now forms part of our everyday lives – optimizing and customizing what we see, choose and learn. Ubiquitous sensors are collecting more data than ever before, with connected devices simplifying our lives.

 

Autonomous vehicles, drone delivery and, soon, drone transport are set to transform global mobility. Even immersive reality guided surgeries, 3D printing of body parts and affordable biohacking are here or on their way. With ready access to powerful computing and breakthroughs in AI techniques, computers can now mimic how people learn, see, hear and understand, making today’s digital age also an age of unprecedented discovery and innovation.

 

Technology is not a silver bullet, but it holds the incredible potential to transform sectors rapidly and globally: to increase the productivity of systems.

 

Goal 17 – Partnership of the Goals

Target 17.8: Strengthen the science, technology and innovation capacity for least-developed countries, as it is formulated to: "Strengthen the science, technology and innovation capacity for least developed countries: Fully operationalize the technology bank and science, technology and innovation capacity-building mechanism for least developed countries by 2017 and enhance the use of enabling technology, in particular information and communications technology."


Human Computer Interaction (CS484)

This module introduces the field of human computer interaction with emphasis on its impact on software design. It provides the student with theories and models of the way users think and work to guide the students to best design the interface to suite users’ preferences. It provides an understanding of the underlying processes of human perception, information processing, and demonstrates their relevance to user interface design. Students will learn how to apply mechanisms such as feedback, user support, navigation aids and good screen design in constructing interface designs that match users' needs. Students will also learn techniques for evaluating user interface designs that are grounded in theory.

Object-Oriented Software Engineering (CS441/CS314/CS244/CS341/CS214)

Summary:
This module is designed to introduce the students to the activities involved in a software development project. The module follows an object-oriented approach, compatible with leading programming languages such as Java, C++ and C#.
Students will be introduced to the principles of software engineering: Requirements, analysis, design and testing. We will also review of principles of object orientation, agile software development, software development life cycle, object oriented analysis, design using UML, Design Patterns and Software testing.
The module project will help the students learn how to work as a team for developing properly designed and documented software systems.

Clinical Operative Dentistry 3 (RES531a)

This course is concerned with providing the dental students with the art and science of Adhesion and bonding, the different carious and non-carious cases of teeth. It also introduces them to esthetic considerations in dentistry, which has recently been formulated the new era in conservative dentistry worldwide. In addition to failure and repair of restorations. Students fulfill their clinical requirements under supervision in the department clinics where the patients have access to treatment completely free of charge

Engineering System Simulation (ISE542/ISE561)

- This module is designed to provide senior students with an in-depth understanding of the simulation modeling process. 

- Topics covered include the fundamental concepts of simulation modeling.

 - The time advance mechanisms, input data analysis techniques, model validation and verification concepts, designing simulation experiments, and simulation output analysis approaches. 

- Hands- on exercises to be conducted to develop discrete – event simulation models using the simulation package ARENA with applications from the manufacturing and service sectors.

Macroeconomic Theory I

Macroeconomics is concerned with the understanding of aggregate phenomena such as economic growth, business cycles, unemployment, inflation, and international trade among others. ... These topics are of particular relevance for the development and evaluation of economic policy.

Advertising Graduation Project I



This course is the first phase of the graduation projects of PR and Advertising. It is mainly the extensive research part. It contains the extensive research part, data collection, data analysis where the students do a survey and analyse the results and relate the results to the already read material. 

The research is about a social marketing problem to be solved in the Egyptian society, or about rebranding of an already existing Egyptian entity. 

 The idea of the research has to be related to the SDGs and the Egyptian sustainable plan 2030. 

The students do not only study the problem in the Egyptian society, but also they provide the scientific solutions for it. They are asked to seek professional help from real practitioners in the field to provide real solutions to the problem. This happens through the interviews with practitioners related to the problem.

The same thing applies in the rebranding part, they manage to choose an Egyptian entity and follow the rebranding marketing plan to make it a new different entity. 

In both cases, they do huge extensive literature review, similar campaigns and its results, Swot analysis, macro environment, decide on the variables for the survey, conduct the survey, analyse it and come up with solutions.

SDG

Broadcasting Graduation Project I

This module aims:

• To enable students to design, refine and do the preparatory research for the development of an independent, self-directed broadcast project;

• To enable students to produce work which will build on, extend and/or refine issues, practices, concepts and approaches which formed part of their previous learning on their programme of study;

• To promote the development of the skills required for the development of independent project work.

• To allow students to develop project work which will permit a critical reflection on broadcasting and broadcast practice.

Ideas and topics tackled in this unit serve the development of the society through discussing different social problems, community services initiatives, health and well being issues, gender equality, economic growth, reduced inequalities and partnerships. The SDGs are a main theme in this unit, students do extensive research to cover the topic in hand and develop an independent project.
