ECON4053 Development Economics
发展经济学
This course aims to introduce students (particularly undergraduate students majoring in economics) to the field of development economics. The course will explore key issues in development economics, such as growth theories, roles of technology, urbanisation, human capital, health, roles of government, poverty, income inequality, sustainable development, and financing for development. The course will put special emphasis on the related issues of developing economies and of under-developed economies. The course will enable students’ to understand the issues of development economics in a comprehensive manner, and will enable students to actively participate in the public discussions. To see how the theories are employed in real life scenarios, case studies will be employed.

数字素描与绘画
This course will introduce students to both the hardware and software that is used in digital painting. Students will use digital painting software in conjunction with a graphic drawing tablet and/or Cintq, a large capacitive screen where you can draw and paint directly on the display, to produce illustration and art. Entrepreneurial thinking will be encouraged, as New Media has created business models in which an illustrator or artist can produce, advertise, and distribute products through a variety of web-based platforms.
Check DetailsMAD4053 Digital Image Manipulation
数字影像制作
This course seeks to provide students with a foundation in 2-D digital image processing. In doing so, the emphasis of this course will fall on techniques used in image processing, image filtering design, and the use of applications. Students will be exposed to the theories and methodologies underlying this discipline. Students will be constantly focussed on learning how to create and manipulate graphic and photographic artwork. They will learn how to interpret such artwork in a critical manner, and will also be exposed to these aspects regarding to how artists approach input and output of digital work.

数字媒体计算
This course introduces the basic properties of different types of digital media in the multimedia systems, namely audio, image, and video. As data compression is the most important enabling technology, making modern multimedia systems possible, data compression algorithms and the international standards of these digital media will be discussed.
Check DetailsMAD3133 Digital Sound Production
数字音响制作
Students of this course will be introduced to the essence of digital sound production as it relates to vital aspects of sequential media. They will learn how to distinguish between the unique potential offered by sound media and its limitations, students will understand design fundamentals of discrete media as they relate to aural communication. Ideas will be created and developed in the practical component of this course. The course will provide students with hands-on skills in digital sound production by, inter alia, studying and understanding the aesthetic and theoretical studies of digital video and computer animation artworks. The use of sequential media in digital and computer environments will strengthen the students’ multidisciplinary knowledge.
