Preface
This document Study Program Information (in Dutch Studiewijzer), of the Program Information Technology at INHOLLAND University Diemen, contains detailed information about the IT study for the academic year 2012-2013. The first chapter will introduce you to the Information Technology program, the title (Bachelor of Engineering) and the contents of the four year study. Chapter 2 gives information about the organization (e.g. for what kind of questions you can contact the secretariat, the mentor or the various help desks and how you can contact these authorities). Chapter 3 lists the courses of the IT program that will be offered in the academic year. Chapter 4 lists the courses of the IT program, depending on the year a student starts (cohort). A short description of the courses can be found in chapter 5. About exam rules you can read in chapter 6. As the Study Program Information has to be used as a working document it may be adapted and extended several times during the academic year, for example when some information in chapter 2 has changed or additional information in chapter 1, 4 or 5 becomes available. Therefore, the Study Program Information will be issued at the beginning of the academic year and updates will be made available in the Public Folders on the INHOLLAND computer network. We hope that this edition of the Student Program Information, its subsequent updates on the computer network, information at the IT notice board and contacts with the teachers will guide the students adequately in finding their way through the organization and regulations of the University and the IT program in particular.

1 Information Technology
The Program
The Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology is a four-year degree program*. It is divided into two parts, the foundation program which consists of all courses of the first year and the post-foundation program which consists of all courses of higher years. The foundation program serves three purposes. It is meant to provide the students with a common basic knowledge of important subjects, because the students in the program often have different educational, cultural backgrounds. Furthermore, the students are introduced into a broad range of subjects relevant to the entire field of information technology. Finally, at the end of the year it should be clear whether the student has the study capabilities to finish the entire program in 4 years (see also Binding Study Recommendation). In the post-foundation program, information technology disciplines are examined in more depth and you are introduced to professional practices through work placement and individual project (bachelors thesis). The main objectives of the program are to provide you with a solid foundation for the engineering profession and the information technology profession in particular, and to enable you to continue your professional development. The program focuses on applications of mathematics and statistics in IT, software development, networking, database management systems, data mining and internet programming. As IT student you will learn to analyze, solve (business) problems and function in multidisciplinary employment. The entire program is organized along the guidelines of a traditional engineering degree. It is built around a number of subject areas. The subject areas are Mathematics and Statistics, Software Development, Networking, Database Management Systems, Internet Programming, Information Science, Computer Hardware and Communication Skills. These areas consist of a number of courses given in the various years of the program. The program also offers the Cisco CCNA and Cisco CCNP programs. Courses are organized in different ways, depending on the subject. Most courses consist partly of lectures and partly of practical work (lab). This practical work can be individual or group work. There are courses which focus on project work, either a number of small projects or one large project and some courses stress individual study. The assessment of the course depends on the organization. The assessment may depend on an exam only, on an exam and practical work or on practical work only. At the beginning of the course the teacher will state in the detailed description of the course how the assessment will be. The academic year has 42 weeks. It is divided into four periods of ten weeks. All courses of the program start at the beginning of a period and may run over more than one period. Exams are at the end of the period the course ends. In case one failed or was unable to attend the exam a second exam is organized at the end of the next period, except for period 4 when the second exam is held in the final week of the academic year.
* In the Centraal Register opleidingen hoger onderwijs registered as: B Bedrijfswiskundeand as Mathematics and Applications.
The programme was accredited under the Higher Education Act on September 14, 2010.

Information Technology

Bachelor of Engineering
A Bachelors degree in Information Technology Engineering opens up opportunities for working in a wide range of professional areas. Any organization that makes use of computer networks, develops software, processes large amounts of data, manages databases or is actively involved in the development of websites and web-based applications is a potential employer. You may also prefer to set up your own business or work for established organizations as a consultant. In general, the professional areas of work open to the Information Technology Engineer can be grouped into the following general categories: software development (software houses), database management and the development of database applications (banks, insurance companies, municipalities and other large organizations), network design and management (data communication companies, IT consultancies) and web-based applications (E-commerce companies, government organizations and other large organizations present on the web). In this rapidly changing profession, new opportunities are constantly opening up.

International Contacts
The Information Technology engineer in modern business or organization, whatever its size, is active on an international playing field. The University is keen that you explore the international world of the Information Technology engineer by making use of the expanding network of institutions with which the University has exchange programs. In particular, the IT program has possibilities for exchange both for study and work placement with the English programs: Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences, Hagenberg, Austria University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia Turku University of Applied Sciences, Turku and Salo, Finland Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, Espoo, Finland National Technology University of Athens, Athens, Greece Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS), Surabaya, Indonesia PETRA Christian University, Surabaya , Indonesia TRISAKTI University, Jakarta, Indonesia Wyzsza Szkola Humanistyczno-Ekonomicza Lodz, Lodz, Poland University of Ljubliana, Ljubliana, Slovenia Iik University, Istanbul, Turkey T.C. Yeditepe, Istanbul, Turkey

If a third or fourth year student is interested in studying abroad for half a year, (s)he can contact their mentor. Furthermore, yearly lecturers exchanges are organized between the programs.

ECTS
ECTS stands for European Credit Transfer System. It has been developed to simplify course credits for transfer students within the European Community. An academic year has 60 ECTS and therefore the entire program Information Technology has 240 ECTS. As the academic year has 42 weeks, 3 ECTS correspond with approximately 2 weeks work (80 hours) for the student. Prior to the end of cohort 2011 study units were used. These units consisted of one or two courses. For each unit a student will got 5 ECTS after completing both courses. The grade of a study unit is based on the percentage for each course indicated in chapter 5 in the column Grade %. From the end of cohort 2011 each course is graded on its own.

Binding Study Recommendation

The foundation stage (all courses of the first year) serves the function to show whether a student can be expected to finish the entire program in about four years. Therefore, the University established the so-called Binding Study Recommendation: IT students shall be expected to have attained at least 45 of credits for the foundation stage and to have a passing grade for the courses Precalculus and English 1 + Mentor hour.

Mentor hour
Helps to: a. gain understanding of the program and the regulations. b. enhance study skills. c. plan the study.

Algorithms and Data Structures 1, 2 These courses are about data structures and algorithms as used in computer programming. A data structure is an arrangement of data in the computers memory (or on a disk). An algorithm describes the procedure a program uses to manipulate the data in this structure in a specific way. Almost every computer program, even simple ones, uses data structures and algorithms. For simple programs with small amounts of data, such a straightforward approach might be all you need. However, for programs of a more complex nature, because the amount of data is large or the algorithms involved are rather complicated, more sophisticated techniques are necessary. Simply knowing the syntax of a programming language like Java or C++ isnt enough. Being a professional developer requires you to choose the right data structures and proper algorithms for a certain problem at hand. But what data structure do you choose? And how can you improve the efficiency of a slow executing algorithm? At the end of the second course the student has to select a non-trivial problem and subsequently design and implement an algorithmic solution for it (the mini individual Java project). Prerequisites: Object Oriented Programming 1, 2 Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing A data warehouse is a collection of technologies aimed at enabling executives, managers or business analysts to make better and faster decisions.

6 Exam rules and Academic Honesty

The Program Information Technology fosters academic honesty by its students. In order to achieve this aim the program has developed rules and regulations for both exams and group and individual practical (lab) work. We expect the students to follow these rules; there is no excuse for not doing so.

Rules for written exams:

Be prepared to show your identity Be in time for the examination. If you are late and any student has left the examination room before you arrive, you are not allowed to enter the examination room anymore You are not allowed to borrow any items from anyone during the test No dictionaries are allowed No lecture notes, books, calculator or any other material is allowed, unless it clearly says on the exam that you can use it You are not allowed to speak or look at anyones papers during the test. This means that you must not look around during the test. Also, you are not allowed to show your papers to others during the test. Not conforming to this rule is considered cheating If you have something to ask, do not talk, but raise your hand and the supervisor will come to you You are not allowed to stand up during the test or leave your place unless you have completed the test. Standing up during the test means that you have finished the test and you have to hand in your papers When you have finished the test, check that your name is on every paper. Take all your papers to the supervisor. Dont speak to anybody before you have left the exam room. Dont show your papers to anyone when you take them to the supervisor Mobile phones must be switched off and kept out of sight. If your phone rings during the test you will be exempted In case of a computer test, you are only allowed to use the specific file within program and/or site page the supervisor informs you to use. Not conforming to this rule will be considered cheating. The student has to follow the directions of the supervisor Breaking these rules means that you will be exempted.

Within the program, either as an individual or as a group, practical or lab work plays an important role in the learning process of the student. At the beginning of the course, the teacher will tell you how many times you have to attend and actively participate in the lab, in order to get credit for the lab work. Not meeting this requirement can mean that you get a failing grade for the course.

Rules for practical and lab work:

Be aware of the consequences of not meeting the required number of lab sessions An individual participant of the lab is expected to do the lab work alone. This means that discussion with other students about specific solutions is not allowed and that copying (part of) the assignment is not allowed. It will be considered cheating both by the student who copies as by the student that gives the opportunity of copying. A group within the lab is expected to do the work by themselves. This means that discussion with other individual students or groups about specific solutions is not allowed and that copying (part of) the assignment is not allowed. It will be considered cheating both by the group, student who copies as by the group, student that gives the opportunity of copying The student, group should follow the directions of the teacher.

Disciplinary actions in case of cheating

In the Rules for written exams and Rules for practical and lab work one finds a description of what the Program Information Technology considers as cheating. In case of cheating the following measures will be taken: 1. The name of the cheating student, the date, the course, the nature of the cheating will be reported to the secretary of the Exam Board 2. The student receives a failing grade for the course 3. The student is not allowed to any resit of the exam in the academic year the cheating took place; the student can redo the course in the regular program in the next academic year 4. The cheating will be recorded in the students file 5. The student will be informed about the decision of the Exam Board.
