COMP5214: Software Development in Java (2014 - Semester 2) Download UoS Outline Overview Handbook Teaching Attributes Learning Outcomes Assessment Resources Schedule Course Map Unit: COMP5214: Software Development in Java (6 CP) Mode: Normal-Day On Offer: Yes Level: Postgraduate Faculty/School: School of Computer Science Unit Coordinator/s: Dr Wang, Xiu Ying Session options: Semester 1, Semester 2 Versions for this Unit: 2014 - Semester 2 2014 - Semester 1 2013 - Semester 2 2013 - Semester 1 2012 - Semester 2 2012 - Semester 1 2011 - Semester 2 2010 - Semester 2 2010 - Semester 1 Go Campus: Camperdown/Darlington Pre-Requisites: None. Brief Handbook Description: Programming in a legible, maintainable, reusable way is essential to solve complex problems in the pervasive computing environments. This unit will equip students with foundation of programming concepts that are common to widely used programming languages. Students will be progressively guided in this introductory unit from necessary and important building blocks of programming to the object-oriented approach. Java, one of the most popular programming languages, is used in this unit. It provides interdisciplinary approaches, applications and examples to support students from broad backgrounds such as science, engineering, and mathematics. Assumed Knowledge: None.

Attributes listed here represent the key course goals (see Course Map tab) designated for this unit. The list below describes how these attributes are developed through practice in the unit. See Learning Outcomes and Assessment tabs for details of how these attributes are assessed. Attribute Development Method Attribute Developed Practice in conceptualising abstract problems and transforming them into concrete solutions in a programming language. Design (Level 3) Practice in writing computer programs in Java, doing so without compilation or runtime error. Engineering/IT Specialisation (Level 2) For explanation of attributes and levels see Engineering & IT Graduate Outcomes Table. Learning outcomes are the key abilities and knowledge that will be assessed in this unit. They are listed according to the course goal supported by each. See Assessment Tab for details how each outcome is assessed. Engineering/IT Specialisation (Level 2) 1. Ability to read, understand, and interpret Java code. 2. Ability to understand, modify, and add functionality to Java programs. 3. Ability to convert simple pseudo-code to Java code. 4. Ability to write correct Java programs to manipulate data. 5. Ability to trace, test and debug in basic Java programs. 6. Ability to understand the essential concepts of Object-Oriented Programming, including classes, objects, encapsulation, inheritance, interface, and polymorphism. Design (Level 3) 7. Ability to identify, define, and analyze problems for solution with Java. 8. Ability design Java solutions that address the problems identified.
