ECS3003	World Texts & Interpretations This subject examines stories as a way to understand ourselves and our world. Some of these stories have endured for centuries and spread far beyond their locus of origin. They raise questions that resonate with our lives even today. This subject will equip you with critical reading, thinking, and writing skills by exploring different ways of reading and interpreting classic texts. You will learn to identify the connections between various texts and between thinkers in history – ranging from those in ancient China and Greece to those in contemporary Singapore.	4

Computational Thinking for Design

This subject covers programming both in the architectural design and computing contexts targeted at novice programmers. It will introduce you to programming and design computing skills that are essential for your studies. You will learn visual programming and python programming together with design concepts, and learn to apply these skills in related projects.

EMA3002

Modelling & Analysis

The main objective of this subject is to give you a firm foundation in single variable calculus so that you can apply calculus to models as well as solve and analyse applied math problems. It aims to demonstrate to you the importance of calculus through a plethora of applications in engineering, physical and biological sciences, computer science, finance, economics, probability and statistics and other topics. On top of the basic concepts, techniques and applications of two branches of calculus – differentiation and integration – you will also learn to use simple software to implement numerical methods in calculus.

ESC3002

Physical World

This subject provides you with the ability to understand and explain the inner mechanism of the physical world based on the principles of mechanics and thermodynamics. It aims to help you appreciate the beauty of physics and to apply key concepts learnt to evaluate and address physics-based problems to make a positive impact on the world. By using concepts established through simplified mathematical models, reverse engineering case studies and experiential learning through hands-on demonstrations, connections between physics concepts and theoretical models are reinforced with practice.
