Synopsis
In their final year of study, students are given the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills they have gained, in the development of an information system for a real world client. Students work in groups and will: design, develop and deliver an information system for a client, manage the project through all its development stages, communicate effectively with all project stakeholders, primarily via studios and meetings, develop project documentation to a professional standard, present their project work to academics and other groups, attend unit seminars, contribute in a professional and committed manner to the work of the group.
This is the second of two core industrial experience units for the Bachelor of Information Technology and Systems, Bachelor of Computing, Bachelor of Information Systems and Bachelor of Network Computing. After successful completion of FIT3047 and this unit, students will have completed their industrial experience project requirements.
Objectives
Students will have knowledge of: the environment in which a client operates; eliciting information from a client; the project management process to measure and control development of a system; the scope and size of a system; the processes involved in the design, development and delivery of an information system; the effective management of clients, groups and individuals within groups; the roles and responsibilities of all project stakeholders.
