Information Literacy: Requirement and Curriculum Placement

This page explains whether Information Literacy (Introduction to Mathematical and Data Science) is compulsory, when it is assigned, and how it is identified as a basic requirement in the 2025 curriculum records.

Compulsory status and course details

In the 2025 curriculum records covered here, Information Literacy (Introduction to Mathematical and Data Science) is listed as a compulsory course for the specified programmes in the Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Future Science, Faculty of Science and Technology, and Faculty of System Design and Technology. The course is generally listed as one class period and two credits, assigned to the first year. Curriculum tables describe the class as lecture and exercise, and mark it as a basic requirement.

When the course is placed in the curriculum

For the Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering programme in the Faculty of Future Science, the course is placed in the first year, first semester, among the engineering foundation subjects. The same curriculum listing places Differential and Integral Calculus with Exercises I, Linear Algebra I, and the course in the first semester; Linear Algebra II, Workshop, and Computer Programming I are placed in the second semester.

Differences among curriculum records

The supplied 2025 curriculum records do not all present the placement in the same way. For the Faculty of Science and Technology, the Department of Information and Communications Engineering, the Department of Architecture, and the Department of Applied Chemistry, one record lists the course as a first-year course offered in a half-term during either the first or second semester. Other records for specified programmes list it as a first-semester course. The course is shown as compulsory, with one class period and two credits; the listed teaching format is exercise in the record that gives the first-or-second-semester placement.

Mechanical Engineering programmes

For the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Advanced Mechanical Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering, the course is listed as compulsory and assigned to the first year, first semester. It is one class period and two credits, with lecture and exercise as the teaching format, and is identified as a basic requirement.

Basic requirement designation

For the Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering programme in the Faculty of Future Science, the note for this course identifies it as a basic requirement.
