Category:COMP courses by subfield

While some of this categorisation can be subjective, the second digit of a COMP course code gives you some information about what subfield it’s considered to fall under.

COMP_1__

Software Engineering (software design, programming at scale) but we classify COMP1100/1130/1110/1140 separately as “introductory” courses (though 1110/40 could totally be considered a software construction course)

COMP_3__

Computer Systems (networks, operating systems, low-level and real-time, concurrent and parallel)

COMP_4__

Data (databases, data wrangling, data management, data mining)

COMP_5__

Research, project, and recurring “topics” courses

COMP_6__

Theory (logic, algorithms, machine learning theory, programming languages theory) but also all machine learning (both theoretical and applied)

COMP_7__

Misc. (inc. special topics courses) but also all security

The names here are just what made sense at time of writing, and may not be completely accurate to either the courses within them or the “official” SoCo name for each field (e.g. the names used by specialisations).
