MSA E-Learning

A second Database Course; aims at building a concrete foundation and solid/professional knowledge in building, administer, and maintain Database Management Systems. Students will understand also the advanced and modern topics in database systems

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.

Aims The main objective of this module is to introduce important concepts of modern operating systems including processes, concurrent processes, inter-process communication, synchronization, process scheduling and deadlocks, memory management, swapping, paging, segmentation and virtual memory. Also file systems and its implementation besides the input-output systems and mass storage structure. Learning outcomes Knowledge On completion of this module, the successful student will be able to: • Demonstrate the structure and functions of an operating system. (1) • Illustrate the methods of process management, CPU scheduling and process synchronization. (2) • Characterize what are deadlocks and how they are handled. (3) • Describe memory organization and explain memory management techniques. (4) • Compare between different operating systems. (5) Skills This module will call for the successful student to: • Expertly use any operating system environment. (6) • Create any operating system component. (7) • Solve some of the common operating systems problems such as: deadlock, synchronization…etc. (8) Syllabus • Operating-System Structures. • Process Management. • CPU Scheduling. • Process Synchronization. • Deadlocks. • Memory Management. • Virtual Memory. • File System interface. • File System Implementation. • Mass Storage Structure. • I/O Systems. TEACHING/LEARNING STRATEGIES • Weekly lectures to introduce the basic concepts of the course subjects. • Weekly computer laboratory to use readymade software to apply the concepts of Neural Networks to solving problems. • Class presentations the student will be assigned a specific subject to investigate in depth and make in class presentation. Assessment Scheme • Unseen Examinations 60 % • Coursework 40% Learning materials • Operating Systems Concepts, 8th ed. Abraham Silberschatz, Peter Bear, Galvin Greg Gagne, John Wiley & Sons, 2008.

This module is designed to provide students with the necessary knowledge about power semiconductor devices and the most common types of power converters used in real applications. It also enables students to evaluate and analyze basic power electronic circuits.

This module is designed to enable students to focus on the design and analysis of the active circuits, active filters, multiple feedback operational amplifiers, and multiple feedback filters. It also provides considerable understanding and confidence in Engineering Electronics and develops the intellectual and practical skills necessary for Electronics Engineering area.
