SYLLABUS
1. Course Information
Course Code : ITE126
Course Title : Quantitative Methods (Modeling and Simulation)
Course Description : This course introduces quantitative methods and statistical techniques used in solving IT-related problems. Emphasis is placed
on developing skills in data analysis, mathematical modeling, and simulation (discrete-event, continuous, and agent-based)
to support decision-making and research in Information Technology.
Credit Units : 3 units
Modality : Face-to-face learning
Contact Hours : 2 hours lecture and 3 hours laboratory per week for 18 weeks.
Term : First Semester
Pre-requisite : CCC102
Co-requisite : None
Target Students : Second Year BSIT
2. Course Outcomes
At the end of semester, the student should be able to:
CO1: Establish a robust foundation in quantitative methods.
CO2: Use suitable statistical tools and software to solve quantitative challenges.
CO3: Analyze and interpret statistical and simulation data to inform decisions in information technology environments.
CO4: Design and implement simulation models (discrete-event, continuous, and agent-based) to evaluate and optimize IT systems.
CO5: Compose a research paper that applies mathematical methods to IT solutions for problem-solving.
3. Alignment of Course Outcomes (COs) to Program Outcomes (POs)
The COs are expected to support the achievement of the following program outcomes (POs).
a.) Apply knowledge of computing, science, and mathematics appropriate to the discipline.
b.) Analyze complex problems and identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution.
c.) Design, implement, and evaluate computer-based systems, processes, components, or programs to meet desired needs and requirements under
various constraints
d.) Integrate IT-based solutions into the user environment effectively.

6. Classroom Policies
Students are expected to uphold and promote the highest level of personal honesty and professional integrity. Academic dishonesty, including cheating,
plagiarism, and falsification of work, shall not be permitted.
All students must attend regular lectures and laboratory sessions throughout the semester. Active engagement is strongly encouraged, and students
are obliged to complete all course requirements before the conclusion of the semester.
For this course, the following conditions must be met:
1. Submission of Course Pack Activities.
2. Presentation of Quantitative Research Paper Output with Selected Models.
To gain credit, students must have a minimum course grade of 3.0. The Grading System section of this course contains a full grading breakdown.
Additional restrictions include:
• Stringent submission deadlines, unless acceptable excuses are presented.
• Attendance is required for both lectures and labs. Excessive absences may influence the final grade.
• Students are encouraged to collaborate on activities and projects to boost peer learning but must provide original work. Plagiarism and other forms of
academic misconduct will result in disciplinary action, as outlined in the Student Handbook.
