At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

• S1.I2
• S2.1, S2.2, S2.4
• S4.1, S4.2, S4.3
• S5.2, S5.3, S5.4, S5.5, S5.6

Students who have successfully completed this course will be able to:

• analyze a concrete situation-problem requiring the development of a computer application and perceive the role that this application will have to play;
• design the computer application corresponding to identified needs by making use of object-oriented programming and justify the design choices;
• Implement a computer application that makes good use of Python language elements
• realize an application of reduced scale, but correct, modular, readable, and well documented;
• implement unit tests to validate the accuracy of a program
• use a programming environment with integrated programming tools such as an intelligent editor, compiler, debugger, and tools for handling files, tests, documentation.

Students will have developed methodological and operational skills. In particular, they will have developed their ability to:

• contribute to group functioning within the framework of project-type cooperative active learning devices, explain the issues (advantages and disadvantages) of group work and provide some operational guidelines to promote effective group work;
• conduct a development process for a computer application
• understand a situation-problem described via written documents, an oral presentation and extract what makes it the essence and reformulate it to define the expected result;
• establish the specifications and a roadmap for the project;
• break down the initial problem into sub-problems that can be easily solved using a computer tool;
• schematize the architecture of the application to give a description of high level allowing any computer scientist to quickly perceive the structure;
• document the application so that it can easily be adapted later by another computer scientist;
• design and perform tests to validate the developed application;
• collaborate effectively on application development;
• communicate effectively:
• write a technical document describing the application developed, the recipients of this document being computer scientists who have not participated in its development but who must adapt it;
• write a coherent and structured project report to convince of the success of the project;
• Present with a multimedia support the solution developed so as to convince him of the success of the project.
