Students are to be engaged in interactive discussion and practical demonstrations and activities.
NAV 2 – Terrestrial and Coastal Navigation 2
Terrestrial and Coastal Navigation 2 enables a prospective marine deck officer to plan and conduct a passage and determine the
ship’s position. The course includes topics on sailings, position lines and positions. Students are expected to undergo chartwork
exercises including the creation of a passage plan for a short voyage in application of the learned concepts.
NAV 1 – Terrestrial and Coastal Navigation 1
Terrestrial and Coastal Navigation 1 is an introductory course in navigation. The course introduces the practical application of Geodesy in navigation and includes topics on nautical charts and publications and tides. Students of this course is also expected to do undergo practical activities and demonstrations as well as problem-based learning. By the end of the course, the students are assessed using written assessment and practical demonstrations to ensure the attainment of the required outcomes.
Maritime Information Communication and Technology with Cyber Security
This course introduces the fundamentals of maritime ICT technologies and systems. It includes topics on the introduction to computer systems, computer hardware and storage devices, basic computer hardware and software servicing with troubleshooting, Software Productivity Tools, Data Communication and Computer Networks, Cyber Security and Emerging Technologies – Fourth Industrial Revolution.
SE 111: Foundation of Social Studies
This course focuses on the study of the nature, historical, philosophical and theoretical perspectives in Social Studies/Science as a body of knowledge. It also deals with the comparative analyses and relationships of the various Social Science disciplines.
SSE 216: Places and Landscapes in a Changing World
The course guides the students in understanding the concepts and dynamics of people and activities from various parts of the world, describing the locations and patterns of human activity, identifying process and patterns with historical lens, and describing the relationship of the natural environment to the other aspects of human behavior.
SSE 218: World History 1 (Ancient and Medieval Era)
The World History 1 provides the basic concepts, theories and historical developments like emergence of societies and civilizations, rise of kingdom - empire states, formation of states, age of exploration, expedition and colonization, and age of commercialization from pre-history up to 8th century Common Era (C.E.).
Accountability and Public Ethics
At the end of the semester, the students will be able to generate support through a position paper on issues and concerns in private or public organizations relevant to ethics and accountability.
BA Econ 1A - Algebra and Trigonometry (22-1)
Algebra and Trigonometry is a 3-unit basic core course subject offered to BA Economics students. This subject is designed to prepare students for calculus. The study covers topics such as polynomials, products, and factors; roots, rational exponents; rational expressions; degree and radian angle measure; right triangle; trigonometry and its applications; trigonometric functions and their inverses; and applied problem-solving. The students will be simplifying expressions involving polynomials, radicals, rational, and exponential terms using appropriate properties and rules, use the structure of a function to sketch graphs and verify trigonometric identities by algebraically manipulating expressions using fundamental trigonometric identities
The students are encouraged to devise economic models using the different mathematical tools and techniques discussed based on firms' and consumers' behavior at the end of the course.
