MSA E-Learning

This  module is  designed  to enable  senior students, who successfully completed Grad project I, to analyze, design, implement, test, and/or operate the designated model, prototype, or method to satisfy the company sponsor's requirements. Students should utilize the fundamental principles and skills gained through their academic studies.

This is a core module for web programming. The student will learn the client-side aspect of web programming. The topics will cover different client-based techniques and their applications in real world. Emphasis will be made on Mark up and Scripting languages and their use in web applications.

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.

This module is an advanced treatment of software development techniques. Here the student will learn aspects of working with a large team on large projects to produce quality software products on time and within budget.  More specifically, this module also enables students to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to the sizing, estimation and planning control of large projects, verification and validation strategies as well as techniques for rapid system development.

This module is designed to enable students to understand and analyze concepts in: the nature of real world systems and its need for microcontrollers; The different types and technologies of microcontrollers and their peripherals(Atmel 8051 and PIC); The techniques used to carry out data acquisition and digital system interface; The operation characteristics of different interfacing types; The standard communication specifications and design techniques; The control of communication interfaces and related peripherals; The Instruction sets and state machines with interrupt timing; the assembly language and its application; The identification of the characteristics and operation of D/A and A/D converters; And the real world applied projects with interfacing practice.

Reverse Engineering course covers the following points in detail:

- Achieve a wide understanding of product development processes.

- Understand the Reverse Engineering (RE) Methodologies.

- Discover and prioritize the problems in the existing process.

- Disassemble products and specify the interactions between its subsystems.

- Discover the functionality of different parts and analyze their material. 

- Understand Computer-Aided RE Technologies.

This module aims to further enhance and complement the students’ knowledge and skills in basic econometrics and to tackle further problems encountered in estimating regression models. The module aims thus to prepare students with the necessary knowledge and skills needed to start their graduate econometrics module. All  econometric models built are directly or indirectly linked to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)  aiming to narrowing  the gap economic theory and empirical applications through testing real live data. It is related  to reducing poverty, improving health, climate action, sustainable and responsible production and consumption behavior , and enhancement of competitiveness , industries and innovation. 

This unit aims to enhance the students’ knowledge and skills needed to conduct a research paper of substantial depth and length under the supervision of a faculty member, whether it is theoretical based on literature review and analysis, or empirical based on econometric, statistical or mathematical analysis.

Topics selected by students for their graduation projects are closely linked to sustainable development goals, especially SDG8 related to decent work and economic growth, as they create models where they try to determine the main catalysts for growth in certain countries or regions. Students also choose topics related to reducing poverty (SDG1) or inequality (SDG10), quality education (SDG4) gender equality (SDG5) and many other SDGs.

This module aims at providing a basic introduction to macroeconomic principles and their application to both theoretical and real world situations. It also intends to identify appropriate techniques to analyse macroeconomic equilibrium and develop analytical skills using the different mathematical and graphical methods. Finally, the module intends to give students the ability to communicate and report on findings, particularly through essays, presentations and exercises.
