Content
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.
Hurdle requirement
To be eligible to obtain a pass in this unit, students must meet certain milestones as part of the portfolio.
