INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING

CSE4IP

2020

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

In this subject, you will be introduced to the steps involved in designing and creating software solutions for a range of practical problems. To enable you to design and implement solutions, you will be introduced to methods for analysis of requirements, development of the overall structure of a solution, and identification of its key parts, and on this basis, to incrementally build and test the solution. To develop your problem-solving skills, problems drawn from different domains, with increasing complexity, will be presented for your practice. You will be introduced to the concepts of class and object, to represent real-world objects to solve problems arising from an application domain. Python is used as the programming language in the subject. The strengths of Python, in particular its supports for quick testing of ideas, are exploited to facilitate the development of your problem-solving skills and effective software development practice.

Graduate capabilities & intended learning outcomes

Graduate Capabilities

Intended Learning Outcomes

01. Apply the programming-based problem-solving approach to analyse the requirements of a given problem and design and incrementally implement a solution.
02. Apply basic programming constructs of sequence, selection and iteration to explore, test and implement algorithm logic to solve problems.
03. Construct and execute test cases as part of the well planned incremental software development approach.
04. Apply the concept of function to modularise programs and enable unit testing.
05. Use file input/output techniques to design data files, to enable programs store data in files and to read data from files.
06. Apply object-oriented concepts and techniques to represent real-world objects in an application domain and use them to solve problems related to the application domain.
