This subject introduces the concepts of software design and development in the context of computer programming. You will learn how to design, manage, and evaluate projects that solve real-world applied technology problems through industry best practice and design methodologies. You will learn to design and build programs for applied technology using the Python language and how to apply programming practices in industry using concepts such as computational efficiency, coding best practice, interfacing, and documenting.
This subject also introduces learning through practice by exposing you to authentic learning experiences. These experiences are placed at the centre of learning and assessment, so you have the opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours necessary to respond to industry, community and/or global needs.
You will be introduced to:
1. a range of methods, tools, techniques, and approaches to practice
2. principles and perspectives such as values, ethics, empathy, and leadership in real world scenarios
3. reflection and deliberative thinking as a means of developing knowledge, skills, attitudes, and aspirations
4. ways of understanding problems and developing solutions through active inquiry.
