Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Model small to moderate sized problems in engineering simulation for the purpose of computational implementation.
- Be able to analyze case studies in engineering simulation, and recognize how to apply the techniques and methods used to other situations.
- Complete the implementation of a program, given a description of its required behaviour.
- Be able to structure the design of a larger task into appropriate sub-tasks, using procedural and object-oriented methods where appropriate.
- Analyse alternatives among simple algorithms -- based on numerical properties and algorithm complexity -- and select the most appropriate for a simple task.
- Be able to reason about the correctness of a simple program, given a logical description of its required behaviour.
- Analyse alternatives among simple data-structures, and select the most appropriate structure for a simple task.
- Apply their knowledge of testing principles to select appropriate test data for an individual software module, and implement a test harness to perform its testing.
- Be capable of applying visual programming techniques to simple examples in engineering simulation.
- Identify economic implications of the software life cycle to the process of software construction in this context.
Mapping of Learning Outcomes to Assessment and Professional Competencies
Indicative Assessment
Two Assignments (30%); Lab Tests (20%); Final Exam (50%)
The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website.
Workload
Thirty one-hour lectures and nine two-hour tutorial/laboratory sessions
Requisite and Incompatibility
Assumed Knowledge
Students must have completed COMP1100 or COMP1730 to enrol in this course.Students are assumed to have achieved a level of knowledge of mathematics comparable to at least ACT Maths Methods major or NSW 2 unit maths or equivalent.
Fees
Tuition fees are for the academic year indicated at the top of the page.
If you are a domestic graduate coursework or international student you will be required to pay tuition fees. Tuition fees are indexed annually. Further information for domestic and international students about tuition and other fees can be found at Fees.
