  • Provisional results are now available

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Tuesday 27 November 2018, 02:29:45 PM, last modified Tuesday 27 November 2018, 02:30:18 PM.

    You can now check your provisional results for the course using the "Grades" icon next to your name. The exam marks are in the fields q1a, q1b, q2, q3, q4, q5 (for the Python questions) and PartB for the multiple choice questions. The overall result for the course is in the field final. The overall result is shown with 1 decimal point and will be rounded. This means an overall mark of 49.5 will become 50. If your overall result is 50 or more, you have passed the course.

    Note that if your exam mark is less than 20/60, then a nonlinear formula will be used to compute your final score. You can see the details in the course outline or the lecture notes for Week 12b.

    If you had been offered a supplementary exam, you would have been notified.

    If you would like to view the details of your test outputs, you can come to my office (608/K17) on Wed 28 Nov at 4-5:30pm. If you want to do that, I will ask you to email me at c.t.chou@unsw.edu.au with your student number BEFORE 2pm on Wed 28 Nov. This is so that I can print your test outputs and show them to you on paper. This will speed the process up.

    If you cannot make it on Wed 28 Nov, you can email me for an alternative.

    I hope you enjoyed ENGG1811 and will find it useful in the future. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

  • Additional exam information

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Friday 09 November 2018, 12:23:28 PM.

    The ENGG1811 exam will take place on Friday 16 Nov. You will either be attending a morning or afternoon session. You can check your allocation at:

    https://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~en1811/18s2/seating/final/register.cgi/allocations

    If your exam is in the morning , you will be told your lab and computer number. For example, kora24 means computer number 24 in the Kora lab. CSE computer labs are named after musical instruments. See below for the lab locations:

    If your exam is in the afternoon , you will be told your corralling room where you will wait before being taken to your lab by the exam supervisor. The afternoon exam times include the wait in the corralling room. You cannot take the exam if you arrive after 12:30 .

    Students take the same exam whether morning or afternoon. Hence, the afternoon students must be corralled to avoid any communication with students who have just finished their morning exam.

    Bring pens and student ID card . No calculator required. Rough work paper provided.

    Go to the toilet before your exam.

    All the best for the exam!

  • Weeks 10-12

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Monday 01 October 2018, 12:35:39 AM.

    The topics for the coming three weeks are:

    • Week 10: Matlab
    • Week 11: Spreadsheet
    • Week 12: Introduction to machine learning

    For this coming week, we will look at Matlab which is a software that you may use in some of your courses in your 2nd-4th years at UNSW. We will go through some example code in the lectures. You can run Matlab using UNSW myAccess or you can install Matlab on your laptop. Both methods require you to install some software on your computer. It is best that you complete the installation process before coming to the lectures. Information on installation can be found together with Week 10's lecture materials or click here .

  • Assignment 2 (Update)

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Wednesday 26 September 2018, 07:41:55 PM.

    The Assignment 2 file calc_reduction.py has been updated. This is the file that you do not need to work on but you need it to get locate_person() to work. The earlier version of this file works with the latest version of anaconda installation but will give an error on the CSE system. Please go to the Assignment 2 page on what you need to do.

  • Assignment 2 (Clarification)

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Monday 17 September 2018, 02:53:56 PM.

    Assignment 2 was released last Friday. There are two clarifications:

    2. Assignment 2 is an individual assignment. Hence group work is not allowed. The scope of the assignment has been designed that it can be completed by an individual student within the given time frame.

    The Assignment 2 spec has been updated to include these two clarifications.

  • Welcome to ENGG1811 (Computing for Engineers)!

    Posted by Chun Tung Chou Friday 20 July 2018, 12:24:17 PM.

    Dear ENGG1811 Students,

    I’m the convenor for ENGG1811 for session 2, 2018 and I’d like to welcome you to the course. There are a number of important points that I’d like to let you know.

    • ENGG1811 does not use Moodle. The course website is at http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~en1811 . We recommend that you bookmark the page.
    • The course outline is available on the course website.
    • There are two lecture streams: A and B. They are at different times. It's easy to misread if I put the lecture times of both streams here, so I will ask you to check your timetable.
    • You will be learning to write computer programs in the Python programming language in ENGG1811. We will ask you to write some simple code in the lecture. We suggest that you install the software "Anaconda for Python 3.6" on your laptop before the first lecture and bring your laptop to the lectures. Instructions for installing this software can be found at the "Getting Started" link on the course website or http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~en1811/resources/getting-started/index.html
    • Labs start in Week 2. There are no labs in Week 1.
    • Lecture materials will be available before the lectures. I will email you when they are on-line.

    See you in class!
