Course Description:
The Applications of Information and Communication Technologies (AICT) course provides a broad understanding of ICT principles and their applications across various sectors, including business, healthcare, and education. This course explores various foundational topics such as computer systems, programming, data structures, networking, cloud computing, and AI. Students will be introduced with the tools for programming, data analytics, and real-time machine learning applications, alongside ethical considerations in technology. Through case studies and hands-on projects, students will explore the transformative effects of emerging technologies and develop essential competencies for informed decision-making in diverse fields.

Learning Outcomes:
1. Demonstrate the significance of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and its impact across various sectors, including business, healthcare, education, and entertainment.
2. Explain the concepts of emerging technologies and evaluate their transformative effects on different industries.
3. Apply data analytics concepts to effectively load, preprocess, summarize, and visualize data for informed decision-making.
