Curriculum Background
An undergraduate degree program in Business Information System at the ESQ Business School will prepare students to become professional managers or entrepreneurs that can harmonize the integration of spiritual, emotional, and intellectual values into the core managerial competencies of communication, critical-thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving in businesses and organizations with additional knowledge of information system. Students will exhibit strong moral values, ethical behavior, and business savvy in transforming businesses and positively making a difference in people’s lives by serving the community at any level. ESQ Business School will provide the foundation for a lifetime of learning and serving and help pave way for sustainable success in this life and after. This curriculum is guided by the belief that even though business will likely continue to be the primary domain for Information Systems, the discipline provides expertise that is critically important for an increasing number of domains. Second, the curriculum have been form of high-level Information System (IS) capabilities and then in three knowledge and skills categories: IS specific knowledge and skills, foundational knowledge and skills, and domain fundamentals. Third, the curriculum is structured so that it separates the core of the curriculum from electives with the intent of supporting the concept of career tracks. Finally, this curriculum includes enough flexibility to allow its adoption in a variety of educational system contexts. The high-level capabilities that the curriculum specifies as the highest level outcome expectations are as follows: • Improving organizational processes • Exploiting opportunities created by technology innovations • Understanding and addressing information requirements • Designing and managing enterprise architecture • Identifying and evaluating solution and sourcing alternatives 1
Š 2013 ESQBS Business Information System Program
• •
Securing data and infrastructure, and Understanding, managing and controlling IT risks.
These high-level capabilities are translated into knowledge and skills in three categories: 1. IS specific knowledge and skills a) Identifying and designing opportunities for IT-enabled organizational b) improvement c) Analyzing trade-offs d) Designing and implementing information systems solutions, and e) Managing ongoing information technology operations 2. Foundational knowledge and skills a) Leadership and collaboration b) Communication c) Negotiation d) Analytical and critical thinking, including creativity and ethical analysis, and e) Mathematical foundations 3. Domain fundamentals a) General models of a domain b) Key specializations within a domain and c) Evaluation of performance within a domain. The curriculum is designed to educate graduates who are prepared to enter the workforce equipped with the knowledge and skills specified in these three categories.

Computer graphics is the art and science of communicating information using images that are generated and presented through computation that requires the design and construction of models that represent information in ways that support the creation and viewing of images, the design of devices and techniques through which the person may interact with the model or the view, the creation of techniques for rendering the model, and the design of ways the images may be preserved The goal of computer graphics is to engage the person's visual centres alongside other cognitive centres in understanding. In visualization, we seeks to determine and present underlying correlated structures and relationships in both scientific (computational and medical sciences) and more abstract datasets, with main objective; should be to commu-nicate the information in a dataset so as to enhance understanding. Within Virtual reality (VR), it enables users to experience a three-dimensional environ17
Š 2013 ESQBS Business Information System Program
ment generated using computer graphics, and perhaps other sensory modalities, to provide an environment for enhanced interaction between a human user and a computer-created world.

Furthermore, AI provides a set of tools for solving problems that are difficult or impractical to solve with other methods, including heuristic search and planning algorithms, formalisms for knowledge representation and reasoning, machine learning techniques, and methods applicable to sensing and action problems such as speech and language understanding, computer vision, and robotics, among others.
