OVERVIEW |
|
This course enables students to further develop knowledge and skills in computer
science. Students will use modular design principles to create complex and fully documented programs, according to industry standards. Student teams will manage a large
software development project, from planning through to project review. Students will
also analyse algorithms for effectiveness. They will investigate ethical issues in computing and further explore environmental issues, emerging technologies, areas of research
in computer science, and careers in the field |

| STRATEGIES |
|
The student is largely responsible for directing his own learning in the context of efficiency and productivity. Whereas the fundamental architecture of AVR microcontrollers, embedded system design, and the ANSI C language are all introduced in class, the assessment and evaluation of student performance will be based almost exclusively on the design and implementation of time-sensitive projects of his own choosing. Upon completion of this course, the student will demonstrate the ability to identify practical problems and projects whose solutions demonstrate the
application of skills and knowledge. |
