Educational Aims
The students will learn the fundamental programming principles and will be able to create programs according to a specification.Learning Outcomes
Knowledge and understanding:
To demonstrate knowledge of the core concepts of imperative, structured and object-oriented programming. The students will learn the fundamentals of programming in an object-oriented language, and be provided with a thorough grounding in procedural logic, flow control, simple data structures, and event driven programming.
Intellectual skills:
The students will learn to understand and implement complex software specifications.
Professional skills:
To demonstrate the core skills of imperative, structured and object-oriented programming using a professional programming language. The students will learn to develop software according to client specifications, and they will learn to evaluate the task at hand and utilise the most appropriate programming methodologies.
Transferable skills:
They will gain extensive experience in problem solving, and will learn to interpret technical documentation.
