Subject Description

The objective of this subject is for students: to be able to design and code medium sized programs; to be familiar with a range of design techniques; to be able to select a design technique appropriate for a given problem; and to be able to select a programming language appropriate for the selected design technique.

Topics covered include principles of design; design methods based on the structures of input and output; structure clash resolution; abstract data types; object-oriented design and object-oriented programming; top-down design and client-server concepts; event based programming; rule based design; exception handling; and choosing a programming language.

Assessment

Project work (expected to take about 36 hours) during semester and one written examination (not exceeding 3 hours) at the end of the semester. The project work must be completed satisfactorily to pass the subject. Weighting of assessment components will be advised at the commencement of the subject.
