Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

apply key software development methodologies to solve software engineering problems

design and model software systems using industry-standard techniques

implement and test software solutions, ensuring software reliability, security, and quality through appropriate development practices.

collaborate effectively to apply industry-standard tools and techniques to develop software systems.
