It is a university course conducted in English intended for the professional field of Information & Communication Technology. Our students are trained to become an all-round ICT- expert in software engineering. With the knowledge and skills collected at Fontys University students can work as high level engineers and future managers in the ICT sector.

Note: The complete Education and Examination Regulation (=OER) can be viewed at the website of the English course in Information Technology http://fhict.fontys.nl/es Information & Communication Technology at Fontys University ICT College- Eindhoven Study guide cohort 2010 3 1 Information & Communication Technology, Full-Time course 1.1 Objective and terms of completion The educational objective of Fontys University ICT College is to train you to become a bachelor of information and communication technology, with an emphasis placed on software engineering. Also the standard curriculum allows you to select a minor from the broad variety which Fontys offers. Fontys University ICT College uses ICT competences to set out a guideline for your competence development. A competence is a cluster of related knowledge, skills and attitudes, which are influencing an important part of someone’s work, which merge with the performance at this work, which can be measured and tested due to accepted standards, and which can be proved by training and development. We discern ICT – competences and universal- competences. ICT - competences are based on ICT processes: Analyze, Advise, Design, Realize, Manage. Universal competences are based on knowledge, skills and attitudes which an employee should possess, regardless his ICT – competences, such as: Professional Application, Methodical Operation, Cooperation. Subsequently follows a description of the composition of each competence. Fontys University ICT College has translated these descriptions in to learning goals for each module. ICT – competences: 1. Analyze: Analyzing processes, products and data streams in their mutual connection and the context of the environment, and formulate functional requirements. 2. Advise: Verbalizing a founded advise for the rethinking of processes and/or data streams and for redevelopment or acquire of an IT system based on the analyses and consultation of stakeholders. In doing so draw into the conclusion several aspects such as finances, time, organization, feasibility and the risks and opportunities for outsourcing. 3. Design: Designing a ICT system on the basis of specifications, in conjunction with an analysis and within the set frames for quality, testing, security, lead time, budget, and operation and management. 4. Realize: Building an ICT system on the basis of a functional and technical design and within the set frames for quality, testing, security, lead time, budget, and operation and management. 5. Manage: The way of operation and management of ICT systems and ensure integration, testing and commissioning of a new release of a ICT system. Provision of services that have been agreed (in a service level agreement) within the time frames for quality, and finance. In conjunction with design and implementation to ensure the maintenance of the ICT systems. Universal competences: 1. Professional Application: This is the correct attitude towards the profession. What is important is the inclusion of ethical aspects. In addition, there must be commitment in her or his remit. There is a focus on quality, competitiveness and focus on the provision of services. Results-oriented and professional immune to stress in critical situations. Information & Communication Technology at Fontys University ICT College- Eindhoven Study guide cohort 2010 4 2. Methodical Operation: A systematic manner in order to be able to work independently of the actual problems. In case of a problem, the methodic action will be to analyze the problem, and systematically deal with relevant knowledge on the basis of a theoretical knowledge. The development and application of sensible solution strategies, and the assessment of the impact. This is methodical and good-tempered exchange to be able to think and act. 3. Cooperation: This is a social communicative competence. Effective and efficient will be the subject of consultations with the parties concerned. Work is to be distributed and delegated. There are several ways to effectively communicate with different sections. Stand-alone and results-oriented work together in a multidisciplinary team. The handling of conflicts. 1.2 Structure of the study programme Each academic year is divided into 4 periods. A period is itself composed of a number of modules. A module is an independent subject with a clearly defined study load, associated with a number of training and educational activities that lead to the described level of knowledge and ability upon completion. Those modules belonging to one period together form a block. A number of blocks together from a phase.The study programme is split up into three phases: the propaedeutic (or foundation) phase (4 blocks), the core phase(8 blocks) and the exam phase (4 blocks). Propaedeutic phase The propaedeutic phase (P-phase) contains the entire first year of study and has a study load of 1.680 hours (60 EC’s). The goal of the propaedeutic year is threefold: • Orientation. In the first year modules have been incorporated that are characteristic for the ultimate domain of application; • Selection. Modules have been incorporated that require the use of your intellectual capacity to acquire new skills that are necessary for the successful completion of your study; • Reference. A supervisor will supervise you. If necessary, an alternative to the chosen study can be discussed with him. Possibly the supervisor will call on the course director and/or the student counsellor to assist him in this case. If you pass the propaedeutic phase, you are considered able to successfully complete the study programme. (If your results in the first semester for various reasons are not sufficient, then there is a possibility to restart in the first semester. This restart is only possible at the end of the first semester.) Core phase In the core phase the basic training for the software engineer takes place. This phase has a study load of 2*1680 hours (120 EC’s), which include a chosen minor of 30 EC's and an internship of 30 EC’s. Exam phase The final year of the programme is called the exam phase. This phase has a study load of 1680 hours ( 60 EC’s). In the first semester of this year the student can choose from several modules. The second semester consists of a graduation project of 30 EC’s. Information & Communication Technology at Fontys University ICT College- Eindhoven Study guide cohort 2010 5 1.3 General overview The study programme Information & CommunicationTechnology is directed towards the systematic and practical application of information science in combination with computer technology. Propaedeutic phase The training goals of the propaedeutic phase - alongside a large number of secondary areas of interest involve: programming, computer systems and discrete mathematics. These are areas in which intellectual aptitude and professional inclination are called on to an important degree. That is why the ability to acquire knowledge and skills in these areas is used as a criterion for selection in the propaedeutic phase. Core- and exam phase The core phase of the study programme is directed towards giving the future software engineer a wide range uploads/Management/ study-guide 45 .pdf
