MANQ1043 User Experience and Interaction Design
This course emphasizes on the notion of “interaction with digital technology” with a focus on the design concepts of modern user experience design and evaluation. It provides students in-depth knowledge about interaction design principles including concepts, process, interface metaphors, types, theories and models. Knowledge of interaction conceptualization, cognitive aspects, social interaction, emotional interaction, type of interfaces and design process are also covered. The interaction design process includes data gathering, analysis, prototyping and evaluation of various information systems including online systems, mobile devices and latest gadgets based on different user needs and technological contexts.
MANQ1053 Enterprise Architecture
This course provides students in-depth knowledge on existing policies, standards, and procedures that support the management of information for effective enterprise change. Technology and content to be covered involves concept of information which is used and applied to activities that require explicit details of information technologies (IT). This includes IT service delivery and support and IT implementation. In addition, this course focuses on the three enterprise architecture methodologies ie. Zachman Framework, TOGAF and Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA). At the end of this course students are able to articulate critically the various EA in aligning business strategies with technology capabilities while translating IT contribution to organization revenue.
MANQ1063 Service Innovation Technology
This course focuses on the aspect of identifying and delivering value and business capabilities to an organization by orchestrating the right infrastructure architecture from the perspective of (internal) clients of the IT Department. Students are required to study, compare and propose practicable solutions based on infrastructure and technologies necessary to achieve service innovation for organizational transformations. Best practices used in a wide range of industrial sectors will be examined in-depth using case studies. Topics include internet-of-things, SSME, cloud computing, virtualization, green computing, mobile technologies, information risks, business value and capability.
UANP0013 Research Methodology
This course discusses the principles of research methodology which include a general introduction to postgraduate research, its methodologies and organization. It is designed to support postgraduate students in developing their research proposal and to guide students through a range of issues and considerations which should inform their general approach to research. Students will learn a range of research tools, and will be equipped to plan and organize their research, as well as to communicate their findings.
