Dear ENGG1811 Students,
I mentioned to you earlier that I was looking for volunteers for an education project for ENGG1811. I am writing to give you more details.
I see that solving problem with coding as an important skill that all engineers should know. My vision is to create a video collection that future generations of ENGG1811 students can benefit from. The video collection will consist of two types of videos:
If you are interested to volunteer, please email me and we can discuss further. Short videos (a few minutes) should do the work. If you do produce a video, I am certain that future ENGG1811 students will appreciate your effort and generosity. It will also be an excellent selling point to your further employer.
Note that this is an open invitation. You can start working on it now or over the summer. You can come back to me later on while you’re still at uni or at work.
I look forward to seeing the great ideas and solutions that you come up with. Thanks again for your help.

If you would like to view your ENGG1811 exam paper without an appointment, you can come to my office (608/K17) between 2:30-3:15pm on Monday 28 Nov.
You can now check your exam results and overall result for the course using the "View Marks" link on the left. The exam marks are in the fields examA (for Section A, multiple choice), examB1 (for Question B1), exam B2 (for Question B2), examC1, examC2 and examC3. The overall result for the course is in the field final. If your overall result is 50 or more, you have passed the course.
Note that I've applied scaling to the exam results. What you see in the above-mentioned fields are the unscaled results.
I will make some time available next week so that you can come and view your exam paper without an appointment. I will put the time on the website once I know.
I have an education project on ENGG1811 that I am looking for some volunteers. I will email you again on this next week.
I hope you enjoyed ENGG1811 and will find it useful in the future. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
Please note that the pre-exam consultation that was originally scheduled on Thur 3 Nov has been moved to Fri 4 Nov at 1-2pm in 608/K17.
Assignment 2 marks are now available. You can view your marks using "View Marks" link on the left. You will also find a short report on the test results there. A longer report will be available within the next few days via collect assignment link.
You can find the details of the tests, some feedback and how you can request for review in the following page. You will also find the test files that we used to mark your assignment and run them on your own computer.
https://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~en1811/16s2/assign2/assign2review.html
Also, see the notice before this one for pre-exam consultation times.
I will be available for pre-exam consultation at the following times in 608/K17:
The solution to sample final exam is now available. You can find it via the menu item "Sample Final Exam" on the left.
A sample final exam paper has been released. You can accessed it from the "Course Work" menu on the left. I will release the solution on 31 Oct 2016.
----
A sample exam paper will be released in Week 13.
The reason why it will only be released in Week 13 is because there is a question related to Assignment 2. Although Assignment 2's submission deadline has passed, the submission is still open though counted as late. This is so that it won't give any unfair advantage to anyone.
We're running two surveys this session.
* MyExperience survey from the university on feedback on learning and teaching
* A survey on the use of Active Learning Platform (ALP) in the lecture
I'd like to thank you those of you who have already completed the surveys. If you haven't, please log onto the ENGG1811 Moodle page and you will find links to both surveys. Both surveys are anonymous. We would like to hear from you.
Assignment 1 marks are now available. If you click to the "Assignment 1" link on the left, then click on the link "Assignment 1 Specifications", you will then see multiple tabs. One tab is "Collect Assignment", click on it and you will be able to see a report on your Assignment 1.
There is some feedback on Assignment 1 here . The page also contains a link to a workbook that contains all the tests that we have used to mark your assignment.
You are entitled to request for a review of your Assignment 1 mark. However, before you do that, please have a read at the feedback page to see what you should do if you want to request for a review.
Assignment 2 has just been released. I will talk about it in the lecture on Tuesday.
There was an update on the assignment 1 specifications yesterday. We won't be announcing each update each time but we ask you to check the assignment 1 webpage regularly to see whether there are updates.
There are consultations especially for assignments and also general consultation; click on "Consultation Labs" on the menu on the left to find the time and location for consultation.
The consultation schedule for Assignment 1 and 2 is available on this page:
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~en1811/16s2/Consultations.html
Two tutors are assigned to each consultation time slot. If the consultation is well attended, expect to wait a little longer for them to come to you. If you have questions about the assignment specification, please post them on the assignment forum.
Please note that lab07 is now available. For lab07, there is a pre-lab exercise that you should complete before attending the class.
The lectures from Week 7* onwards will be on Matlab. I will continue to ask you to bring your laptop with Matlab installed with you to the class. We will also continue to use ALP because most students wanted it,
Instructions for installing Matlab can be found on the course website. Go to the course website, click on "Resources" on the menu and you will find a link to the instructions.
* We still have one section on OO Basic in Week 5 that we haven't completed that yet. We will finish that part first and then start Matlab.
P.S. There are a number of additional problems on the forum for you to try. I would encourage you all to attempt.
All the lecture materials for Week 6 are now available on the course website. This includes the final workbook and a version of the lecture notes where the text is not blocked.
There are also a number of additional problems on the forum for you to attempt. I would like to encourage you to take part in solving those problems.
Assignment 1 on OOBasic has been released. You can find it under CourseWork menu on the course website. I'll spend some time in the lecture on Tuesday to talk about the assignment.
The lecture materials for Week 6 have been uploaded to the course website. Note that there are two pre-lecture exercises in the lecture notes. You can find them on pages 20-21(Exercise #1), and pages 42-43 (Exercise #2). You are asked to work on these two exercises and put your answer in the Active Learning Platform (ALP) before the lecture.
P.S. There are a number of additional problems on the forum for Week 5, I would like to encourage you to attempt them and put your answers on the forum.
We didn't manage to finish all the lecture materials this week and we will have one more example to go through for next week. I've put the almost final demo workbook on the website.
I've put 3 Additional Problems on the Forum for the topics that we have studied in Week 5. I'd like to encourage all of you to join in the discussion to solve these problems.
Please note that lab06 (for Week 6) is now available on the course website. You should read through the lab exercises and attempt both Parts A and B before attending to the lab.
Please note that the midterm test will be held during the first part of your lab in Week 5. You will be tested on OpenOffice Calc which was covered in the first three lectures and labs.
We ask you to wait outside while your tutor sets up the exam environment. When you are allowed in, you are asked to follow the tutor's instructions. The test is conducted under exam conditions: no talking, no phones, no watches, no nonsense. Do bring your student's card for identification.
A sample midterm test paper has been posted. You can find it under "Sample Midterm Test" under the "CourseWork" menu on the left.
In the second half of the lab, you will work on an exercise on OpenOffice Basic.
In Week 4, we will begin a new section of the course which is on writing computer programs in a language called OpenOffice Basic. The lecture materials are already online. If you have a laptop, I will ask you to bring your laptop with you for two reasons:
See you all on Monday in CLB7.
The final workbook for Week 3 has been posted. I didn't manage to show you how to trace precedence and dependence in the lecture, I will show that next week.
The lecture recording for the lecture in Clancy is now available on youtube. If you click on "Lecture recordings", you will find the link.
Note that there is an additional problem for Week 3. This week's problem asks you to solve a problem using solver and vlookup. I'd like the students to join in this discussion.
I'd like to thank all the students who had participated in the discussion for the additional problems in earlier weeks. There are still some outstanding questions that are yet to answer. I would like to encourage all students to join in.
Week 3's lecture materials have been posted
Please note that video recording in Clancy doesn't work properly, so the video recording in Moodle doesn't show the screen with OpenOffice. If you want to view the video recordings for the Tue lectures, you need to go to youtube. If you click on "Lecture recordings" at the course website, you will find youtube links to the Tue lectures. Note that the recording for Week 1 in Clancy was lost so I have supplied recordings of the lecture I gave in 15s2.
For Monday lectures, you can view the recordings in Moodle.
Labs started this week. Please check the location at myUNSW before your lab.
Labs that were initially scheduled in Piano (K14/LG18) have been moved to Clavier (K14/LG20)
Week 2's lecture materials have just been uploaded to the website.
The weekly consultation labs will start tomorrow. Please check the schedule: https://wiki.cse.unsw.edu.au/info/Consultations/16s2
Dear ENGG1811 Students,
We didn't manage to finish the heart beat example in today's lecture. We expected 14 beats but the method counted only 13 beats. We will finish the heart beat example in next week's lecture, but you know why one beat is missing, you can put the answer on the forum.
I have put a few documents on the web:
I have posted next week's lab on the website. See "Labs" on the left. Labs begin in Week 2.
I will be posting some additional problems on the course forum. The aim of these problems is to give you some opportunities to practice what you have learnt. The additional problem for Week 1 has been posted. The problem is to check whether a sequence of numbers (you can think about it as a sequence of measurements in engineering context) has some property. The problem asks you to check for one property at the moment, I will post additional problems to ask you to check for other properties later on.
Dear ENGG1811 students,
I’m the lecturer-in-charge for ENGG1811 for session 2, 2016 and I’d like to welcome you to the course. There are a few things that I’d like to let you know.
- The course website is at: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~en1811
- The first lecture is on Monday 25 July at 10am
- Materials for the first week have already been uploaded to the website. After going to the website, click on the “Lecture Notes” on the left sidebar and you will find lecture notes for the first week. There is also a demo file which I will use during the lectures to show you something about spreadsheet. You need the OpenOffice suite to work with this file. OpenOffice is a free software that you can download from:
That’s all for now. See you Monday.
