UNIT OUTLINEBACHELOR OF SCIENCE (HONS) IN FORENSIC COMPUTING

The unit involves the study, implementation and applications of fundamental data structures (lists, trees and graphs). This unit explores and analyses the use of data structures in problem solving. Throughout this unit, consideration will be given to both the practical effects and efficiency of different implementation choices of data structures in the design of algorithms.

Data Structures and Algorithms

This unit introduces students to Client-side programming (that is, inside a web browser), by embedding program scripts in the HTML to be displayed; using those scripts to dynamically modify the HTML and CSS; asynchronous reading of information from the server (known as “Ajax”); Server-side programming (that is “across the web”), by writing server-side scripts accessing server-side files and databases. The reasons for these two forms of programming, and the underlying theory are studied. Throughout, particular emphasis will be placed on the need to produce contemporary sites, using best practices from industry, and bearing in mind the needs of the various clients of a website and the desirability of network efficiency.

Web-Script Programming

This unit concentrates on developing the students’ understanding of the value of corporate resources (such as data) and why it is at risk. It looks at the varied security threats to business and the impact this can have on a business or organisation and looks at solutions to these threats. The unit explores the changes in the variety and nature of threats to security due to new technologies being introduced such as the use of mobile devices and cloud computing. Students will be introduced to the importance that technical components such as operating systems, networks and databases have on design of secure solutions as well as application level security. The contribution of human factors to the security of an organisation’s information is covered.

Business Information Systems Security

Students will be exposed to the theoretical and practical concepts related to Computer Forensics investigations. Starting from a familiarity with the basic concepts and tools, they will learn how to collect, preserve, analyse, and critically interpret digital evidence.

Forensics Fundamentals

This unit covers practical aspects of conducting forensics investigations by exposing students to different general forensics tools, methodologies, common good practices, and also by stressing the importance of the professional presentation of the results.

Forensics Investigations

This unit covers computer systems, including implementation of operating systems, instruction set and microprocessor architectures, and computer internetworking, including routing, mobility, and security protocols.

Computer Operating Systems and Intermediate Networking

This unit covers practical and theoretical aspects of conducting forensics malware investigations. We expose students to different tools and methodologies, including practical cases.

Malware Forensics

Students on this unit will study processes and techniques to support the development of systems that have exceptionally high security requirements (e.g. safety critical systems). The unit also provides knowledge and exposure to cryptographic techniques and tools, as well as steganography.

Security and Cryptography

This unit is based on the requirement for a student to produce a substantial individual piece of work, using the skills and techniques, appropriate to their pathway acquired throughout the degree programme.

Final Year Engineering Project

The unit will teach the students how to effectively use databases for decision support. The unit has two main components. First, the students will learn how to design a data warehouse. This will provide hands-on experience on modelling and implementing a data warehouse. Second, the students will learn data mining techniques; how they work and how to use them. The students will also have hands-on experience using data mining toolkits, including how to visualise and interpret the results.

Data Warehousing and Mining

This unit concentrates on the identification of the vulnerabilities that may exist in a computer system. These vulnerabilities may exist in software, protocols or policies. The risks associated with these vulnerabilities and the methods to mitigate them will be assessed. In this unit you will further develop your understanding of computer systems and network protocols from a security point of view. Your knowledge of programming and software design will also be developed in relation to security.

UNIT OUTLINEBACHELOR OF SCIENCE (HONS) IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

This unit will build on students’ existing programming skills by covering advanced aspects of object-oriented inheritance and polymorphism, event-driven programming, graphical user interface construction, exception handling and multi-threaded applications. Understanding of programming is further developed via a study of programming language design and implementation concepts including language evaluation, syntax specification, compilation, control structures and abstraction facilities.

Advanced Programming Concepts

This unit introduces the process and managerial issues of producing ‘difficult’ software – large, complex, time-critical, safety-critical etc. It covers the production of all software, not just administrative and bureaucratic software. Real-world impacts on Software Construction will be introduced in lectures using anecdotes relating to issues including Quality, Standards, Ethics, Legalities, Project Management and team-building.

Introduction to Software Engineering

This unit is based on Application Usability for Desktop and Mobile devices. The unit introduces the concepts of interactive GUI (Graphic User Interface) applications and design of effective, accessible and usable, interactive applications. Specifically, the unit introduces students to the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) principles and techniques required for construction of good GUIs applications.

Getting Usability into Development Environments

The unit involves the study, implementation and applications of fundamental data structures (lists, trees and graphs). This unit explores and analyses the use of data structures in problem solving. Throughout this unit, consideration will be given to both the practical effects and efficiency of different implementation choices of data structures in the design of algorithms.

Data Warehousing and Mining

Students in this unit will study processes and techniques to support the development of systems that have exceptionally high reliability and/or security requirements (e.g. safety critical systems). Formal specification is used to specify and verify security protocols.

Reliable and Secure Systems

The aim of the unit is to build on students’ existing knowledge by covering advanced aspects of Software Engineering, including management of large software projects, capability maturity models, applying cost and effort estimation models, software quality control and assurance, software design and design patterns and mapping design with code. Students are encouraged to reflect on their experiences of software development, both academically and, where appropriate, professionally.

Advanced Software Engineering

This unit covers mathematical concepts relevant to software engineering and computer science, and introduces the student to the practice of functional programming and its underlying mathematical foundations.

Discrete Mathematics and Functional Programming

This unit is based on the requirement for a student to produce a substantial individual piece of work, using the skills and techniques, appropriate to their pathway acquired throughout the degree programme.

Final Year Engineering Project

Investigate the components that make up a distributed computing environment. In this unit, we examine the fundamental design issues required by distributed systems. In particular, we investigate those current and emerging hardware and software technologies that are used to support a range of distributed applications. The unit also includes a number of case studies where existing and emerging technologies are examined.
