Program description
The use of modern and developing technologies, such as cloud and high-performance computing, agile web development, and software project design and management, is heavily emphasized in this course.
Using a variety of modern scripting and programming languages, you will create computer programs and use your critical thinking and logical abilities to leverage current technology for managing and analyzing massive data sets.
Other essential information technology (IT) pillars will also be covered, such as human-computer interaction and network and web-based systems and their security.
Members of UWA's big data and optimization research groups teach the course, which also features industry guest lecturers. You will have the chance to apply your knowledge to a practical design problem by taking part in a group design project.
