Synopsis
This course introduces the students to data structures
and algorithms. The basic concepts in structure, class,
array and pointer are discussed in order to understand
the fundamental of data structures and algorithms. The
course focuses on data structures such as list, stack,
queue, tree, searching and hash while sorting, graph and
heaps topics cover the algorithms. This also includes
the algorithm efficiency for run time. Pseudo code and
C++ programming language will be used in algorithm
implementation. Apart from the theory, the students are
asked to apply the data structures and algorithms through
small application that is developed in a team.

and visualise spatial data. It can be considered as
advanced database. Students will explore some of the
GIS applications in the area of electronic government,
resources
management,
disaster
management,
businesses, banking and insurance industries. Students
must be familiar with traditional methods of identifying
and describing locations using paper maps. The students
will begin by examining the Geographical basics of
mapping and examine the processes in which spatial
data can be recorded, captured, stored, processed using
computers. Next, the students will introduce the methods
used in spatial analysis. The final portion of the course
will focus on spatial cartographic presentation of data.
