Network computing project B ( 12 points, SCA Band 2, 0.250 EFTSL)

Leader: J Newmarch

Offered:
Peninsula First semester 2006 (Day)
Peninsula Second semester 2006 (Day)

Synopsis: The network computing 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 siginificant 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.

Objectives: The network computing 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 siginificant 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. As an indication, a 6 point project leading solely to a written report would typically result in a report of at least 6,000 words.

Corequisites: Depending on the project topic, and the prior knowledge and skills of the student, the supervisor or course coordinator may require one or more graduate subjects to be completed prior to commencing the project, or to be studied concurrently with the project. These subjects would be taken as part of the course structure, and would be counted towards the points requirement of the course.

Prohibitions: Another graduate project
