Aims

To introduce data structures and advanced programming language features within the context of a high-level programming language (Java).
To demonstrate principles, provide indicative examples, develop problem-solving abilities and provide students with experience and confidence in the use of advanced features to implement algorithms in a contemporary software setting.

Learning Outcomes

(LO1) Be familiar with data structures and advanced programming concepts within Java

(LO2) Be able to carry out the construction of software artefacts utilising these concepts

(LO3) Be capable of carrying out the development of complex elements, such as user interfaces, multiprocessing, and fault-tolerant components

(S1) Problem Solving - Numeracy and computational skills

(S2) Problem Solving - Analysing facts and situations and applying creative thinking to develop appropriate solutions
