COMP8123 Advanced Topics in Computer Applied 3 45 hrs ---
Technology
This module is designed to provide students with an introduction to modern computer

programming trends, and an in-depth exploration of a specific area within the field of
machine learning and data analysis. This module caters to students who have already
acquired a solid foundation in computer programming, machine learning and data analysis
and are eager to delve into advanced concepts and emerging trends in a specialized topic
area. By engaging in this module, students will have the opportunity to deepen their
knowledge, develop practical skills, and engage in critical analysis of cutting-edge topics.
COMP8299 Thesis 21 --- ---
The doctoral thesis aims to allow students, by tackling advanced research problems over
diverse settings, to significantly contribute to the expansion of knowledge in the field of
Computing, especially in applied technology and produce a coherent body of work that is of
scholarly value and worthy of publication. The work must be original and be the student’s
own. There must be evidence that the field has been thoroughly surveyed by the student
with critical exposition of relevant works, clearly demonstrating the mastery of a body of
knowledge in the field and strong analytical skills. Students are responsible for ensuring that
the thesis is presented in a clear, accessible and consistent format. Good project
management practices and effective writing and oral presentation skills are essential to the
successful completion of the thesis.
COMP8172 Technical and Scientific --- 162 hrs ---
Communication (total hrs)

The Technical and Scientific Communication is arranged in three sub-modules. Module I
covers general aspects of the writing and communication process and will be addressed using
master classes to present the concepts, making abundant use of examples of writing and
communication in the context of computer engineering research. Module II focuses on
training the different types of writing (writing modes) using intensively peer review as an
element of evaluating students' progress. Module III addresses non-verbal communication
in the context of training different types of presentations. Videos and visualization of
recordings made by students will be used to encourage discussion about the most effective
strategies for presentations. A blended-learning strategy will be used throughout the
module, complementing face-to-face classes with activities developed through distance
tools. The assessment consists of small writing, oral communication and peer review projects
carried out throughout the year and covering the entire subject covered in the module.
