Learning outcomes

Program Learning Outcomes Statement

You are expected to develop the following Program Learning Outcomes: 

Enabling Knowledge:

You will gain skills as you apply knowledge effectively in one or more computer science and information technology disciplines. In doing so, you will:

• demonstrate coherent and advanced knowledge of the underlying principles and concepts in computer science and information technology, including advanced understanding in some areas
• recognise research principles and methods applicable to computer science and information technology.

Critical Analysis:

You will learn to accurately and objectively examine, consolidate and synthesise computer science and information technology (IT) concepts, evidence, theories or situations, and exercise critical thinking and judgement in developing new understanding, in particular to: 

• analyse and model requirements and constraints for the purpose of designing and implementing software and IT systems
• evaluate and compare designs of software and IT systems on the basis of organisational and user requirements
• design and use research in a project.

Problem Solving:

Your capability to analyse problems and identify and provide solutions to complex problems with intellectual independence as you learn to: 

• design and implement software solutions that accommodate specified requirements and constraints, based on analysis or modeling or requirements specification.

Communication:

You will learn to communicate effectively with a variety of audiences through a range of modes and media, in particular to: 

• present a clear, coherent and independent exposition of systems, alternative IT solutions, and decision recommendations to both IT and non-IT personnel via technical reports of professional standard and technical presentations.

Responsibility:

You will be required to accept responsibility and accountability for your own learning and make informed decisions about judging and adopting appropriate behaviour in professional and social situations. This includes accepting the initiative and responsibility for independent life-long learning.

Research and Scholarship:

You will have technical and communication skills to design, evaluate, implement, analyse and theorise about developments that contribute to professional practice or scholarship; specifically you will have cognitive skills: 

• to demonstrate coherent and advanced theoretical knowledge and adapt knowledge and skills in diverse contexts 
• to plan and execute project work and/or a piece of research and scholarship with some independence.
