Students will on average spend 150 hours over the teaching period undertaking the teaching, learning and assessment activities for this unit.
1 x 2 hour online class per week, 1 x 2 hour workshop per week, weekly drop-in sessions.
Online independent and collaborative learning including optional scheduled activities as detailed in the unit site.
SIT221 introduces students to in memory data modelling and computational trade-offs when developing software. Computing platforms from Internet-Of-Things (IoT) devices to supercomputers have limited or restricted resources available to software engineers in terms of memory, computational power, and energy consumption. Writing efficient and high-quality programs is the technical skill every technology company is after. This unit will extend student programming capabilities by exploring the application and implementation of different data structures and algorithms and considerations associated with appropriate selection of these tools to meet different system requirements.
Evaluate the memory usage and computational complexity of different solution strategies and use this to provide recommendations in terms of solution direction for given problem scenarios.
GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilitiesGLO4: Critical thinkingGLO5: Problem solving
ULO2
Create and use a range of data structures and algorithms to design solutions and implement programs that address specified requirements and constraints.
GLO1: Discipline-specific knowledge and capabilitiesGLO5: Problem solving
ULO3
Document problem and solution constraints, design decisions, and trade-offs involved in creating software solutions for a given problem.
