Program of study notes

This Program of Study serves as a suggested study plan. When core topics are offered in both halves of the year, students may enrol in these topics in either half of the year as long as requisites are met
Students without SACE Mathematical Methods are advised to take MATH1701 Algebra and Functions before attempting MATH1121 Mathematics 1A
With the permission of the Course Coordinator and with the agreement of the industry partner, the practicum topics may be extended by six months by enrolling in the topic COMP3741 Extended Industry Experience. COMP3741 Extended Industry Experience does not attract fees or HECS payments. International students, please be aware that your student visa conditions may restrict you from undertaking COMP3741 within Australia. Please see the topic coordinator for further details

Aims

The course has been designed to prepare students to become computing professionals able to:

Analyse computational and data related problems from both a theoretical and practical perspective
Draw on a range of different algorithms to develop solutions to complex computational problems using the most appropriate programming paradigm
Contribute to solutions, and communicate effectively with experts across the computing discipline including computer hardware, systems software and end-user application development
Work effectively both as an individual and as part of a team
Exhibit a strong, practical understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities

The course provides experience of working in a team environment in industry. It also provides the foundations that will underpin ongoing professional development, preparing graduates for further study or for a career in an IT-related field or in other areas where the range of skills and knowledge acquired is needed or desirable.

Learning outcomes

On completion of the course you will be able to:

Analyse and abstract problems from a real-world setting, creating appropriate computational solutions

Formalise and verify algorithms for correctness and performance with respect to a variety of metrics

Implement programs in various programming languages and paradigms

Understand and analyse human factors and apply ethical and professional practices

Work collaboratively in a team and communicate effectively in a variety of contexts
