2. Given a set of basic scientific problems, the student will construct simple programmes to investigate the problems.
3. Given a scientific problem, the student will identify and evaluate the outputs through appropriate visualisation.
4. Given a scientific problem, the student will discriminate and select basic approaches to scientific computing, including the use of cloud services.
5. Given an appropriate data set, the student will write a program to process the data e.g. find the principal components.
6. Given an image, the student will write a program to implement an operation on the image e.g. dithering to reduce its bit depth.
7. Given a classifier, the student will write a program to implement and analyse it e.g. plot its decision boundary; display an animation of its trajectory of weights over the error surface.
Affective (Attitudes and Values)
1. Given datasets, the student will question whether the data is representative and attempt to address any biases.
2. Given problems to investigate, the student will identify and discuss any potential ethical considerations.
3. On completion of an investigation using appropriate outputs including visualisation, the student will be able to defend the approach adopted.
