[ST ANNOUNCMENTS] Announcement from Sir Ralph Regalado: ST Announcement 12/14/2014 To ST Students ID#111 1. We have opened a new SPELEC course that can be credited to SPELEC1 / 2 or 3: TECHGOV TH 1245 - 1415 Allan Borra G208 This course TECHGOV (Technological Innovations for Governance) covers the interaction of governance, computing technologies and netizens (cities, businesses and government agencies). The course covers topics on eGovernment issues surrounding the use of technology to improve the efficiency and effectiveness in delivering government information and services to the public, including but not limited to automated election systems and soliciting public opinions and feedback regarding government services. 2. Due to unavailability of faculty, we will be replacing MULTIRE with 2 other STELEC courses (shown below). We will inform you of the final schedule once we have made arrangements with the OUR. Further note that these electives can be credited to any STELEC1 / 2 / 3 or 4 courses. EMAGENT MW 1100 - 1230 or 915 - 1045 DBADMIN MW or TH 915 - 1045 EMAGENT: Embodied Conversational Agents (pre-requisite: INTESYS): The course EMAGENT equips students to design embodied conversational agents, focusing on creating empathic interactions. Empathic means interactions are laced with emotions and intentions, expressing emotions via multimodal media of face, voice, gestures and posture, including dialogue. Students will be exposed to Ekman’s 6 basic emotions and action units, emotional dialogue, and issues related to the synthesis of emotions. Students will also learn how to use software tools for emotion analysis and corpora building. DBADMIN: Database Administration (pre-requisite: INTRODB) The course DBADMIN introduces students to basic database administration techniques. The course begins with a review of fundamental relational database management system and SQL, then proceeds to cover topics on database objects, data concurrency, database security, backup and recovery. The objective of the course is to provide the students with knowledge and skills to build applications that utilize an RDBMS, in this case, IBM DB2, and perform basic database administration tasks. 3. For those students whose STTREND is credited to any STELEC courses, we will be requesting OUR in your behalf to credit this to SPELEC2. This means you will then have to enroll in an STELEC course (as presented in #2). 4. For the ladderized MSCS students, please note that due to changes in the hiring of new faculty, CSC781M (Introduction to Digital Signal Processing and Image Processing) will now be handled by Dr. Joel Ilao. The schedule as reflected in your EAF will be retained.
