Students are encouraged to use the Internet to search for various topics, including contents of similar
courses offered elsewhere.

Teaching Techniques:
Power point presentation and multimedia tools are used in classrooms; Examples and problems will
be solved and illustrated on the classroom board; Tutorials are also organized to establish a closer
