General information

Coordinator: Associate Professor Guojun Lu

The discipline

The Faculty of Information Technology offers a major sequence in computing which can be included as a science sequence for the Bachelor of Science course. The sequence focuses on the development of computer- based applications, exploring computer technology, programming environments and system development, with a range of more specialised options at level three.

Units offered

Level one

• GCO1810 Programming fundamentals
• GCO1811 Object-oriented programming
• GCO1815 Computer technology

Level two

• GCO2812 Computer organisation
• GCO2817 Data structures and algorithms

Level three

• GCO3818 Software environments
• GCO3812 Data communications and networks 1
• GCO3813 Unix systems programming
• GCO3817 Computer graphics
• GCO3822 Multimedia concepts and applications
• GCO3824 Data communications and networks 2

Sequence requirements

Minor sequence in computing (30 points):

• GCO1810, GCO1811 and GCO1815, and
• GCO2812 and GCO2817.

Major sequence in computing (54 points):

• a minor sequence in computing, and
• GCO3818 and any three of GCO3812, GCO3813, GCO3817, GCO3822, GCO3824.

Recommendations

Level one

The unit MAT1077, which is described in the `Mathematical sciences' entry in this section of the handbook, provides the mathematical background to support these studies.
