Computer Architecture and Organization aims to develop a deeper understanding of the hardware environment upon which all of computing is based, and how a hardware layer is interfaced to the software layers that comprise the applications that perform modern computing. Students need to understand computer architecture to develop programmes that can achieve high performance through a programmer’s awareness of hardware functional components, their characteristics and limitations. In selecting a system to use, students should be able to understand the trade-offs among various components, such as CPU clock speed, cycles per instruction, memory size, and average memory access time

The course is designed to provide students with advanced knowledge and approaches to manage correctional facilities successfully. Special emphasis is directed toward applying concepts to the management of multi-focused institutions that provide for security and rehabilitation programmes. The course further enables students to manage the overall correctional operations, including the facility setting, offenders, and staff. Additionally, students will be able to discuss and examine emerging contemporary issues, such as developing correctional staff as human service professionals, community alternatives to incarceration, privatisation, and other emerging issues.

The course is designed to enable you to effectively manage the full scope of any project to be initiated in the correctional services environment. Emphasis is on developing the student’s proactive planning, organisational, and communication capabilities throughout all project development and implementation stages. The course provides strategies for both managing tasks (i.e., establishing timetables, identifying resources, monitoring progress, implementation and evaluation) and leading people (i.e., establishing accountability, sustaining momentum, communicating effectively). Concepts are integrated through a final project in which students develop a comprehensive plan to implement a correctional initiative that embraces all significant project management principles addressed in this course.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course aims to equip students with Design Thinking concepts and tools for synthesising human-centred techniques to solve problems in a more creative and innovative approach. The course concentrates on evaluating alternative methods to solve problems that might not be instantly evident. Students will be able to integrate the iterative design thinking process of empathising with users of the product or service, defining ideas, producing a prototype and testing.
