Introduction

  • principles and perspectives such as values, ethics, empathy and leadership in real world scenarios
  • reflection and deliberative thinking as a means of developing knowledge, skills, attitudes and aspirations
  • ways of understanding problems and developing solutions through active inquiry.

You will develop plans that enable you to set goals and implement actions for self-development. You, as the student, will monitor, review and adapt these plans throughout the unit and course in your Practice Manual[1], with the support of the P&P Coaches[2].

Although the ILOs for P&P units (101-108) are the same, when paired with the discipline unit they are assessed in different contexts with different theory components. Therefore, the P&P ILOs are not technically being assessed more than once due to the differentiation that occurs in the discipline unit.

PROPOSED

This unit introduces the concepts of software design and development in the context of computer programming. You will learn how to design, manage, and evaluate projects that solve real-world cyber security problems through industry best practice and design methodologies. You will learn to write programs for cyber security using the python language and how to apply programming practices in industry using concepts such as efficiency, formatting, interfacing, and documenting.

This unit also incorporates learning through practice by exposing you to authentic learning experiences. These experiences are placed at the centre of learning and assessment, for you to develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours necessary to respond to industry, community and/or global needs.

You will be introduced to:

- a range of methods, tools, techniques and approaches to practice

- principles and perspectives such as values, ethics, empathy and leadership in real world scenarios

- reflection and deliberative thinking as a means of developing knowledge, skills, attitudes and aspirations

- ways of understanding problems and developing solutions through active inquiry

Note

Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.

Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.

Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units.

TNE Program units special approval requirements.

* The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (see withdrawal dates explained for more information).
