This applied subject is designed for students interested in technology and scientific data modelling, but with little or no programming experience. Using a problem-based approach, students will develop programs in MATLAB that will be applied to a wide range of prevailing and emerging issues in the physical and life sciences. Fundamental programming concepts will be introduced through common techniques used in modern scientific programming, including data analysis, advanced graphs, and image analysis.

In SCI410, students will demonstrate mastery of these concepts through a final project related to their field of expertise.

Programming assessment. 10 weekly programming projects worth 5% each. These assessments must be attempted in order to pass the unit. Relates to Learning Outcomes 1-3 Final Examination: 2 hrs 15 mins. Relates to Learning Outcomes 1-2 For more information about UNE examinations please go to: http://www.une.edu.au/current-students/my-course/examinations UNE manages supervised exams associated with your UNE subjects. Prior to census date, UNE releases exam timetables. They’ll email important exam information directly to your UNE email address.
