This course provides methodological tools and applies them to case-based analysis of real-world problems. This training equips students with practical skills and critical thinking useful for future careers such as consulting in applied economics or other related professions in industry requiring data analysis. Successful completion of the course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the process involved with a case-based investigation in business economics. This includes defining the problem at the start of a case, identifying potential solutions, applying empirical tools and statistical methods to conduct quantitative data analysis, as well as presenting the results. The course emphasizes data-driven analysis, but students are also expected to base this on economic principles and theoretical foundations. Statistical software (for example, Excel, R) are used for data analysis. The course consists of a mix of lectures and guided project work that culminates in a written assignment. The assignment is completed small groups, and students also present the content of their assignment at the end of the course.

This third-year, intermediate level course introduces students through practice-based learning an ability to design and implement device-based solutions for the presentation of media content. Students learn interaction and product design methods used in the design and development of interactive products or devices and apply these methods and physical computing to conceptualize, design, and develop interactive devices. 

Drawing on prominent social thinkers, this course investigates the social nature of humankind as it relates has to war, and what warfare reveals about the social existence of human beings.

This course introduces the fundamental skills required for 3D computer modeling and animation. Students are introduced to industry standard digital tools and gain creative and technical competence with modeling, character design, movement, environment and rendering. Emphasis is placed on learning techniques, principles and strategies to enable on-going independent learning of the specialist 3D software used. A wide variety of processes are reviewed to provide an overall awareness of the complete 3D animation production process. Technical processes include modeling, texturing, simple rigging, keyframe animation, lighting and rendering. By the end of the course, students can produce a short animation.

This course introduces students to human behavior in organizational contexts. Both theoretical and applied approaches will be developed and examining processes at the individual, group, and organizational levels. Instructional methods include lectures, experiential exercises, group activities, videos and case studies. 

This course engages students to think and express themselves through the production process of a musical. By introducing the various aspects of mounting a musical production, it empowers the students to transmit this understanding into an actual display of intrinsic ideas. The course is executed through classroom seminars and an experiential component culminating in the form of a micro-musical. The content coverage embodies a survey and appreciation of Singapore musicals; and to expound on the hardware and software requirements in mounting a musical. This includes individual elements like acting, singing, writing, composing, music-making and dancing which are interwoven in the creation of this art form; as well as the financial and budget planning, safety measures and basic aspects of stage management.

At the end of the course students have critically understood: how to compare the major approaches to the study of cognitive functions from an individual differences perspective; the experimental methods used to study individual differences, and more specifically intelligence and cognitive functioning at individual level; the importance of individual differences in different cognitive domains.

Course topics include: Introduction to the study of individual differences in cognition. Must-know concepts in personality, intelligence, neuropsychology & research methodology; The paradox of individual differences: study what is common to understand what is not. Difference between nomothetic and idiographic approach; Relation between individual characteristics and cognitive functioning; "hot" intelligence and performance; Evolutionary approaches to the study of human cognition; Individual specificities in cognitive functioning. Single case studies and group studies. The role of normative data for determining normal performance. Premorbid intelligence. Cognitive reserve; Role of culture, personality, education, age and lifelong experiences on individual cognition; Graphical representation of individual differences; Domain-specific and domain-general individual differences.

This class introduces the field of public relations (communication management) and the organizational, societal, and legal contexts in which it takes place. The course emphasizes ethics, social responsibility, the role of mass communication in the formation of public opinion, the role of organizational communication in a democracy, the global practices of communication management, and major influences that affect organizational behavior.

This course serves as a foundation course on Semiconductors. It covers a broad range of fundamental concepts in semiconductors such as basics of semiconductors and their properties, semiconductor in equilibrium/non- equilibrium, carrier transport phenomena, and operating principles of a semiconductor diode, metal-semiconductor contacts, and MOSFET.

This course addresses the question, "What can we/I do to create a better world?" from the perspective of Goal 1 to 9 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).  This course analyzes various data, experiences, and information to gain a global perspective; acknowledges the current situation, and considers how to address complex issues as well as solutions and actions one can take.
