Course Structure
In addition to the units outlined in the course structure for 3506 Bachelor of Computer Science, students in the advanced program must also complete the following three units.
Students must enrol in both 1H and 2H sessions.
Year 1
1H session
Advanced Computer Science Activities 1
This unit is only for Bachelor of Computer Science (Advanced) students in year one of their studies. Students will participate in industry and research based extension activities (non-assessable). These activities will be identified with the goal of exposing students early in their degree and integrating them into a culture of academic enquiry, problem solving, knowledge generation and scholarship and an awareness of the challenges and current issues confronting the computing/IT industry. The unit will be used to record student activities and a satisfactory/ unsatisfactory grade will be applied at the end of each semester.
2H session
Advanced Computer Science Activities 1
This unit is only for Bachelor of Computer Science (Advanced) students in year one of their studies. Students will participate in industry and research based extension activities (non-assessable). These activities will be identified with the goal of exposing students early in their degree and integrating them into a culture of academic enquiry, problem solving, knowledge generation and scholarship and an awareness of the challenges and current issues confronting the computing/IT industry. The unit will be used to record student activities and a satisfactory/ unsatisfactory grade will be applied at the end of each semester.
