Assesement : Examination, Lab work

COMP22712 Microcontrollers

The labwork is concerned with implementation of systems based on sound theoretical principles.

Assesement : Individual coursework, Lab work

COMP23412 Software Engineering 2

The theoretical principles are put into practice in several ways: (i) the MVC in use is well-known Web framework used in industry; (ii) we use external APIs for mapping (ie Mapbox); (iii) we integrate into the MVC architecture APIs that are widely used (Twitter API); (iv) principles of testing in isolation are put in practice whereby students derive tests from requirements and learn to mock components of the Web system to facilitate testing.
