FIT3047 - Industry experience studio project 1 - 2017

In their final year of study, students are given the opportunity to develop new skills and apply the knowledge and skills they have gained, in the development of an IT application for a real world client. In teams, students design, develop and deliver an IT applications for a client, manage the project through all its development stages, communicate effectively with all project stakeholders and develop project documentation to a professional standard. Students also present their project work to academics and other groups, attend unit seminars, and contribute in a professional and committed manner to the work of their team.

FIT3047 is the first of two industry experience units for most majors in the Bachelor of Information Technology and Systems and Bachelor of Information Technology, and in the Bachelor of Computer and Information Sciences and Bachelor of Business Information Systems. After successful completion of this unit, students must enrol in and pass FIT3048 to complete their industry experience project requirements.

At the completion of this unit, students should be able to:

1. explain how IT applications are developed, including all aspects of the development process;
2. explain the roles and responsibilities of clients, system users, management and developers in a development project;
3. apply, in a practical setting, aspects of the theoretical work covered in their course;
4. develop an IT application using a prescribed methodology, conducting all activities associated with the development methodology;
5. work with clients or client representatives, communicating effectively with them to meet their requirements;
6. operate effectively as a member of a development team;
7. evaluate, assess and communicate both personal and team progress and learning, thus engaging in meaningful reflective practice.
