VTAC Course Code-35453
Mooroolbark campus
This program combines major studies in computer science with
a mathematics major comprising studies in operations research
and applied statistics.
Com~uter science
Includes t'he study of programming methodology using the C
proqramminq language, data structures and algorithms,
softkare en$nee;ingj and databases.
Operations research
The scientific study of problems arising in commerce and
industry. Students examine loosely structured practical
problems at an early stage in the program and later work in
groups to undertake real projects for external clients.
Computer methods are used extensively in both the classes
and group work.
Applied statistics
Concerned with the collection and analysis of data, students
will study statistical methods for sampling, for making
inferences from samples and for modelling data using methods
such as regression. Studies in applied statistics will equip
students with the ability to plan statistical investigations and to
analyse data using specialist statistical computer packages.
Honours program (Hawthorn campus
only)
Suitably qualified candidates may be admitted to an honours
year.
Multi-modal learning - Mooroolbark
campus
At the Mooroolbark campus this course will be offered in
multi-modal format. Using an individual portable computer,
students will undertake increasing parts of their study
independently. The computer will be a means of instruction,
communication and computation that can be used at home, on
campus or at local study centres. This will lead to a reduction
in the time needed to be spent in formal instruction on
campus.
lndustry based learning (IBL)
The optional four-year program is taken in the IBL format
which includes one year of paid work experience.
Career potential
The mathematics and computer science major sequences
provide a valuable preparation for potential ouerations
researchers, management scientist;, project leaders,
statisticians, economic analysts, quality control scientists,
systems analysts, computer scientists and teachers.
Professional recognition
This program is accredited by the Australian Computer Society
as a Level I course. Graduates are eligible for
associate membership. After four years of relevant experience,
a graduate can apply for full membership
Graduates are also eligible for membership of the Australian
Society of Operations Research after one to two years of work
experience. Students can become student members while
doing the course and then apply for full membership upon
graduation.
Prerequisites (entrance 1995)
Units 1 and 2: four units of mathematics. (Only until 1996).
Units 3 and 4 - Mathematical Methods. Middle band
selection - bonuses will be handled in the manner specified
for the following studies: Specialist Mathematics (1 5%).
Information Technology (Information Systems)(lO%).
Consideration will be given to the full range of an applicant's
VCE studies and results, and the level of performance in CATS
in prerequisite studies, and to the student profile.
