Reasons for Introduction

Reasons for Introduction (20 May 2013, 10:11pm)

FIT5131 is one of the foundation units for the Master of Information Technology and Master of Business Information Systems degrees.

Reasons for Change (09 Mar 2015, 12:28pm)

17/7/13 Correcting prohibtion, amending mode of teaching. Effective Semester 1 2014.

15/1/2014 Amending the learning objectives to learning outcomes. Effective Semester 1 2014.

GPC 3/2014 endorsed changing FIT5131 foundation unit to FIT9131 foundation unit to differentiate the foundation units from the non-foundation units. This change will be reflected in the 3348 - Master of Information Technology; 3342 - Master of Business Information Systems and 4313 - Master of Information Technology Professional/Master of Business Information Systems Professional. FIT5131 will be disestablished at the end of 2014 and FIT9131 will be offered from Semester 1,2015.

09/03/2015 - This unit is a foundation unit in the Masters programs and has been replaced with FIT9131.

    ASCED Discipline Group Classification (17 May 2013, 11:58am)

    020103

    Synopsis (17 May 2013, 11:58am)

    This unit aims to provide students with the basic concepts involved in the development of well structured software using a programming language. It concentrates on the development of problem solving skills applicable to all stages of the development process. Students gain experience with the translation of a problem specification into a program design, and the implementation of that design into a programming language. The subject introduces software engineering topics such as maintainability, readability, testing, documentation, modularisation, and reasoning about correctness of programs. Students are expected to read and understand existing code as well as develop new code.
