40 assessment points will be based on your demonstration of competence (mastery) in the 8 of the following 14 areas. You must choose (1) and (2), and you can select no fewer than 2 from (3) to (7) and no fewer than 2 from (8) to (12).
You have to choose 1 & 2 |
| (1) Publish in paper form or on the screen a text which includes attractive presentations of mathematical expressions and graphical material (consider using LATEX, HTML or Microsoft Word/Excel). |
(2) Create a working program which includes looping, conditionals, arrays, subroutines and input/output to disk files in FORTRAN or C/C++. |
Select no less than TWO from 3 to 7 |
(3) Create a working program which includes looping, conditionals, arrays, subroutines and input/output to disk files in FORTRAN or C/C++ (different from the language you selected in (2) above). |
(4) Create a working script which includes looping, conditionals, arrays, subroutines and input/output to disk files in Perl or Python. |
(5) Create a working program which includes looping, conditionals, arrays, subroutines and input/output to disk files in Mathematica or Matlab. |
(6) Apply a graphing package to display an annotated figure of a data set generated by reading a disk file or from a mathematical expression. |
(7) Download and successfully apply a software module/package from a remote web site. |
Select no less than TWO from 8 to 12 |
