Information Technology Project B

(IT)

12 points + All campuses where degree is offered, and by OCDL + Semester 1, 2 and summer + 24 (12 for part-time enrolment) hours per week of research, laboratory work, private study and supervision meetings + Pre/Corequisites: Permission + Prohibition: Another graduate project

Synopsis: The Information Technology project allows a student to have the opportunity to carry out a significant individual task in the Information Technology field under supervision. The project can be conducted in a variety of topic areas, which may include: the design, development, prototype construction and testing of a significant item of hardware or software; an in-depth investigation and report of a relevant topic in information technology + The project topic must be approved by the supervisor and project coordinator prior to its commencement.

Assessment: The assessment will be based on the project deliverables, which will depend on the topic. The assessment will include a variety of components, such as (but not restricted to): a project proposal and plan; a working prototype hardware and/or software, plus appropriate supporting and operational documentation; and/or an oral presentation, and where appropriate, demonstration to the examiners. As an indication, a 12-point project leading solely to a written report would typically result in a report of at least 9,000 words.
