1. BACKGROUND
Nowadays, software plays a central role in almost all aspects of daily life: in government,
banking and finance, education, transportation, entertainment, medicine, agriculture, and law.
The number, size, and application domains of computer programs have grown dramatically; as a
result, hundreds of billions are being spent on software development, and the livelihood and lives
of most people depend on the effectiveness of this development. Software products have helped
us to be more efficient and productive. They make us more effective problem solvers, and they
provide us with an environment for work and play that is often safer, more flexible, and less

Course Description This algebra based course provides science students with the
basic concepts of physics that enable them to understand
describe and explain natural phenomena. Emphasis is laid on
general principles and fundamental concepts in
measurements, mechanical and thermal interactions, fluid
mechanics, electromagnetism, oscillations and waves with
applications of physics in various fields of science.
The course is organized into 7 chapters. The chapters on
mechanics introduces the principles and laws governing the
motion of objects and the interaction between them as well as
conservation laws. The chapter on heat and temperature

discusses the interaction between systems through energy

transfer and describes some basic thermal properties of such
systems. The chapters on oscillations, waves and optics
provide basic concepts of periodic motions, how waves
transfer energy from one place to the other, and use the
concepts of light rays to explain image formation by mirrors
and lenses. Electromagnetism and electronics introduces the
basic electric and magnetic phenomena using the concept of
field and treats elementary concepts of semiconductors.
Cross-cutting applications of physics explain the roles of
physics in Agriculture, Industries, Medicine, Archeology,

exclusion from all development endeavors. It is obvious that
people with disabilities are the large stand most disadvantaged
minority in the world. They are about 15 percent of the global
population (about one billion people), and 17.6 million in
Ethiopia, with most extended families including someone with
a disability (World Health Organization and World Bank and
2011). An exclusion practice of this large number of persons
with disabilities in Ethiopia is an indicator of violating
fundamental human rights that undermines their
potential/ability to contribute to poverty reduction and
economic growth within their household, their community and
the country. It is clear that it is not impairment, but, the
exclusion practices that has contributed for insecurity
(conflict), poverty aggravation for persons with disabilities
and vulnerabilities, that has highly demanding inclusive
practices. Exclusion practices of persons with disabilities have
a long history, affecting the life of people with disabilities and
the society at large. In the past and even today people have
been discriminated due to their disabilities.
Inclusiveness promotes effective developments through full
participation of all members of a population, people with
disabilities and vulnerabilities, where all are equal contributors
of development and equitable beneficiaries. Through inclusive
practices, it is possible to identify and remove social and
physical barriers so that people with disabilities and
vulnerabilities can participate and benefit from all
developments. Genuine inclusion of people with disabilities
and vulnerabilities allow of them to actively participate in
development processes and eliminate dependence syndrome,
leads to broader benefits for families and communities,
reduces the impacts of poverty, and positively contributes to a
country‘s economic growth, development and ultimately
create inclusive society. All stages of development processes
of any organization should be inclusive through creating equal
access to education, health care services, work and
employment, social protection and all development center of
human being.

how to assess, understand and address the needs of persons
with disabilities and vulnerabilities; and provide relevant
support or seek extra support from experts. He/she also learns

environment that aimed to develop holistic development such

and behavior disorders, learning difficulty, communication
disorders, vulnerable persons including gifted and talented,
and those at risk due to different reason (persons who are
environmentally and culturally deprived, abused, torched,
abandoned, and orphaned..etc.). All University students should

We live in an exciting yet challenging period in history. The world seems to

dominantly progress in constantly opposing directions. On the one hand, because
of globalization, the world is getting closer and becoming interconnected in ways
never experienced before generating more wealth, scientific innovation, and
cross-national cooperation. On the other hand, the challenges of war, terror,
arms trade, money laundering, disease, poverty, environmental problems, human
and drug trafficking still generate an aura of uncertainty for the present and
future generations. As such, decisions made by states, multinational
corporations, non-governmental organizations, and terrorists have a direct impact
on our life. Thanks to global flow of information, there may be a multitude of
individuals who know the events that are occurring in the world. But some still

Academic The department expects from its students a high level of responsibility and
Integrity academic honesty. Because the value of an academic degree depends upon the
absolute integrity of the work done by the student for that degree, it is imperative
that a student demonstrate a high standard of individual honor in his or her
scholastic work. If you cheat on an exam you will receive a failing grade, and
most likely will be dropped from the class. Academic dishonesty of any type by
a student provides grounds for disciplinary action by the instructor or
department. In written work, no material may be copied from another. The work
that you submit must be your own, for both moral and legal reasons.

an argument evaluating the soundness of the claims asserted and the
evidence used to support the claims. This course attempts to introduce the
fundamental concepts of logic and methods of logical reasoning. The
primary aim of this course is to teach students essential skills of analyzing,

Course Policy All students are expected to abide by the code of conduct of students
(article 166 and 166.1.1, of The Senate Legislation of Bahir Dar
University May 20, 2005) throughout this course. Academic
dishonest including cheating, fabrication, and plagiarism will not be
tolerated at any stage during your studies and will be reported to
concerned bodies for action. If you need it you can get a copy (to be
copied by yourself) of it from your academic advisor.
It is expected that all work handed in by a student will be original
work that has been done by the individual. If it is not, then this act of
intellectual dishonesty will be dealt with severely.
While students are expected to work reasonably independently, I do
not expect you to work in isolation. Often you learn best when
working with others on an assignment. So what degree of
collaboration is expected and, indeed, encouraged, and what is
deemed to be cheating? If you are having problems with the
Page
84
assignments or tests, contact the instructor as soon as possible. It will

NOT be possible to earn extra credit to improve a poor grade at the
end of the semester.
In general, we encourage things like bouncing ideas off one another,
discussing which of two alternate solutions might be better (and
why), and getting another's ideas on how to resolve a difficulty that
you have already spent time on. However, you should not be
working so closely together that someone else's solution becomes
incorporated into your answer, computer program or other
submission. These general guidelines apply to any type of assignment
and project.

Course Description
Requirement engineering is the branch of software engineering concerned with the real world
goals for, functions of, and constraints on software systems. It deals with the real-world goals; it
bridges the informal world of stakeholder’s needs, and the formal world of the software
behavior. Requirement engineering also deals with the precise specifications of software
behavior. Requirement engineering is concerned with the ‘what’ aspects of the system and it sets
the guidelines that the designers will draw upon and the testers will refer to. Lastly, requirement
engineering deals with the evolution over time and evolution across software families.
Requirement engineering copes with the changes in real world systems and provides reusable
features
Learning Outcomes
 understand the importance of requirement engineering in system development Know the

techniques of requirement elicitation
 Understand the role of requirement document in the development process
 Write requirement specification documents
 Appreciate how the requirement directly or indirectly affects the product.
 Know about different types of requirements
 Understand the role of stakeholders in the RE process
 Elicit requirements using different elicitation techniques
 Specify and document requirements
 Validate documents
 Prioritize requirements

Course Description
This course we will explore the foundations of software security. We will consider important
software vulnerabilities and attacks that exploit them -- such as buffer overflows, SQL injection,
and session hijacking -- and we will consider defenses that prevent or mitigate these attacks,
including advanced testing and program analysis techniques. Importantly, we take a "build
security in" mentality, considering techniques at each phase of the development cycle that can be
used to strengthen the security of software systems.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course, the student should be able to:
 Understanding the role that software plays in providing security and as source of
insecurity
 Understand Principles, methods & technologies to make software more secure Typical
threats & vulnerabilities that make software less secure, and how to avoid them
 Know how to prevent them entirely, or mitigate their effects, by improving the software's
design and implementation.
 Know state-of-the-art tools and techniques for testing and otherwise verifying that soft-
ware is secure.
 Know how to "build security in" rather than consider it as an afterthought, and will have
a plethora of skills, applicable at each phase of the development cycle, that can be used to
strengthen the security of software systems.

Course Description
The aim of this course is to provide a unified introduction to computer graphics and computer
vision for students with an interest in imaging or digital visual arts and to the highest extent,
create animated objCP and video game development. The course primarily introduces both the
hardware and software utilized in computer graphics. The emphasis is on creating a working
graphics system from the ground up, but modern models and applications are also discussed and
utilized.The fundamentals of display hardware and applications, interactive techniques and color
models, study of 3D viewing pipeline, drawing images in OpenGL, 3D polygon rendering and

transformations are discussed shrewdly. Course provides hands-on experience through

programming assignments. Example code and lecture material will be presented in C++ or Java
using the OpenGL API. It is highly recommended that assignments be completed in C++/Java.
You are free to use whatever language you want, with four caveats discussed here under, unless
and otherwise the lecturer wants the students to work on a selected language due to some
reasons:
-Setup and debugging help will not be offered for languages other than C or C++.
-Code other than C or C++ must run on all of the Windows OS
-Instructions for compilation and running of executable must be extra clear.
-Partial credit may not be assigned for partially working code.
OpenGL should be installed on all laboratory Windows machines and Linux. Assignments may
be done on either Windows (using Visual Studio .NET or Net beans) or Linux (using gcc/g+
+).OpenGL does not have calls to deal with user interaction, like mouse clicks or opening
windows.
Learning Outcome
Up on the completion of the course, students will be able to:
 Have a knowledge and understanding of the structure of an interactive computer graphics

system, and the separation of system components.
 Understand the fundamental concepts of Perspective and other types of projections.
 Learn geometrical transformations especially 3D transformation.
 Be able to create interactive graphics applications.
 Learn how to use OpenGL to perform items stated above.
 Have a knowledge and understanding of techniques for representing 3D geometrical ob-
jects
