Unit Description

This third-year project unit will involve the student in the development of solutions to real world computing problems drawn from community organisations and industry. In most cases, projects will be undertaken by groups of students, as required by the estimated size of the problem. Valuable work experience and experience of group and project work will be gained. Assessment will include feasibility studies, system analysis and design, system documentation and user guides.
