Description
In this subject students apply their learning in practice. Workplace projects and problems provide a context in which theoretical knowledge and skills must be selected, applied and the consequences of application used to extend the student's understanding. Additionally some theoretical knowledge, particularly problem-solving and critical thinking, should be used to address novel problems and situations in order to produce sound useful outcomes.
Students are expected to perform a number of work assignments so that they have the opportunity to apply a range of knowledge and skills to a range of problems and projects.
Subject learning objectives (SLOs)
Upon successful completion of this subject students should be able to:
| 1. | Advance their theoretical knowledge and skills by working through real-life industry-based problems. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Relate and integrate their theoretical knowledge to industry practice. |
| 3. | Develop and produce valid and useful problem outcomes |
Course intended learning outcomes (CILOs)
This subject also contributes specifically to the development of the following Course Intended Learning Outcomes (CILOs):
- Technically Proficient: FEIT graduates apply abstraction, mathematics and discipline fundamentals, software, tools and techniques to evaluate, implement and operate systems. (D.1)
Content (topics)
The study topic should be chosen in consultation with the student’s Project Manager and the University mentor. In general topics chosen that are of value to the sponsor should be chosen, but the student is free to chose any IT topic as long as both the Project Manager and the University mentor agree. Students should be aware of any commercially sensitive material that they may have access to or discover.
Topics can be drawn from: business benefits of IT, business processes, information system design methods, information system usability, or particular technologies used during their industry session.
The actual project will be determined by the work/projects available and the information technology environment at a particular site.
