| As the evolution of computer and its associated technologies are rapid, it is crucial to ensure that our graduates are not only computer-literate employees in their respective professions, but also have the life-long learning skills to meet the technological change. Due to the rapid advances in science and technology, scientific and technical communicators who can bridge the gap between knowledge and the users of information are preferred in all economic sectors. Graduates with technical specialties in addition to their communication talents will enjoy even better job prospects. |
The SCMC minor focuses on the use of computational tools for scientific applications, and the advanced high performance computing for handling large-scale computations. The package also addresses the management and effective use of data that modern business and computer technology can produce, and provides a platform for students to develop their communication skills and talents. In addition, the minor programme provides a basic foundation for coping with the technological changes, and underpins the ability of life-long learning for computing knowledge. |
