Credit points: 9.5
Coordinator: Dr. Z. Somogyi Dr. A. B. Ruighaver (Semester two)
Prerequisite: 433-142 and 433-242. Students with a grade of H3 or better in 433-142 are permitted to take 433-244 and 433-242 concurrently
Contact: 20 hours of lectures and 12 two-hour laboratory sessions
Timetable: Available in both semesters one and two
Objectives:
On completion of this subject, students should be able to design, code, test and debug medium sized programs, and should be able to use a range of software development tools.
Content:
Programming environments, configuration management. Standard testing and debugging techniques. Design techniques for medium sized programs. Introduction to the principles of software development tools reinforced by practical experience in their use.
Assessment:
Up to four hours of examinations at the end of the subject. Project work, which is expected to take about 30 hours, must be completed satisfactorily to pass the subject. Weighting of assessment components will be made known at the commencement of the subject. The assessment will include a practical component completed in the laboratory under examination conditions and may include both written and on-line components. Depending on laboratory availability, this examination may be held in the first week after the end of the teaching semester, or may be scheduled in the normal examination period. Notification of examination arrangements will be made known at the start of the subject.
