AIMS
This subject introduces students to the fundamental concepts and models of application development so that they can understand the key processes related to building functioning applications and appreciate the complexity of application development. This subject is suitable for students who have no background in application development or programming. This subject emphasises application development and incorporates the software development life cycle, requirements gathering, designing a solution, and implementing and testing a solution. Students will learn about the software development lifecycle, program design, data structures, problem solving, programming logic, implementation considerations, testing, and enterprise level applications.
INDICATIVE CONTENT
- Program development lifecycle & methodologies
- Programming concepts – variables, literals, types, expressions, procedures, functions, parameters, operators and operations, decision logic, looping, sub-procedures, passing parameters, control structures (sequential, conditional, iterative)
- Testing
- Implementation considerations
Intended learning outcomes
INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES (ILOs)
On completion of this subject the student is expected to:
- Use primitive data types and data structures offered by the development environment
- Understand basic programming concepts
- Write simple applications that relate to a specific domain
- Design, implement, test, and debug a program that uses each of the following fundamental programming constructs: basic computation, simple I/O, standard conditional and iterative structures, and the definition of functions
- Test applications
- Apply core program control structures
Generic skills
On completion of this subject, students should have developed the following generic skills:
- An ability to apply knowledge of basic science and engineering fundamentals
- An ability to undertake problem identification, formulation and solution
- The capacity to solve problems, including the collection and evaluation of information
- The capacity for critical and independent thought and reflection
- An expectation of the need to undertake lifelong learning, and the capacity to do so.
