COMP 2010SED Computing Fundamentals with Java is a two-term, six-credit-unit, 2000-level course within the Bachelor of Computing with Honours in Internet Technology (BCITH) programme suite and the Bachelor of Science with Honours in Computing and Networking (BSCICNH) programme suite. It is a compulsory course for BCITH and BSCICNH. This course is designed to provide a solid foundation in the fundamentals of computing and is suitable for students who do not have prior experience in programming. The problem solving aspect of computing will be emphasised. The main focus is to learn an object-oriented programming language (Java) and use it to solve problems. The software development cycle will also be introduced.

Aims
This course aims to provide students with opportunities to apply the skills and knowledge they learned from the previous courses in solving practical, intelligent construction problems that clients initialise. Students will solve practical problems using Building Information Modelling (BIM), Modular Integrated Construction (MiC), green and sustainable building designs, and project management. Throughout this course, students will develop and demonstrate their skills in critical thinking and effective communication. In addition, students will learn to prepare professional reports and present their work to fulfil the client's requirements.
Contents
This project-based course will enable students to identify, analyse and solve problems in both design and practical aspects of intelligent construction. A typical project would require students to identify a construction project (e.g. a high-rise building, tunnel, bridge) — which includes planning, designing, and management — and propose the construction process using various digital tools (e.g. BIM, digital twin), smart sensor techniques (e.g. IoT) and intelligent project management tools (e.g. AI tools). Students are expected to work in groups, and each student will have a different role in a construction project, such as planning engineer, design engineer, project manager, BIM coordinator, etc.

Tutorials and consultation meetings
Assessment
The continuous assessment (30%) consists of an inception report (10%) and an inception presentation (20%). For the inception report, students are required to provide their initial evaluation of the project and plan for completing the project.
There will be no written examination in this course. The final examination (70%) will be based on a project, including a final report (50%) and a final presentation (20%). For the final presentation, students are required to present their work and address any questions that arise. For the final report, students are required to submit a comprehensive report that summarises their works (e.g. plans, designs and suggestions) for the project.
Electronic submission of assignments
Except for some designated assignments, students are required to submit assignments via the Online Learning Environment (OLE).
