Student projects
Our department runs excellent industry-based projects in information technology, software engineering and games technology. These projects not only allow students to gain real-world experience, but also provide participating companies with a fully developed prototype.
Students involved in the software engineering project have previously won the industry recognition and Australian Information Industry Awards. A number of these projects are currently being used in the software engineering industry.

eBox
The eBox platform system can be used in business, government and the banking industry to define a common standard for business communication, including funds tranfer. The platform not only provides a medium for invoice generation, but it allows for scheduling and payment of invoices. For security purposes the system requires an established 'handshake agreement' or relationship between two parties prior to generating an invoice. eBox offers business users additional features: Inventory Management, Custom Invoice Template Design and Employee/User Management. eBox is a powerful system that has been designed with ease of use in mind, to help businesses more effectively manage their financial commitments, reduce costs and improve employee productivity.

Non-Intrusive Learning Environment
The Non-Intrusive Learning Environment is a Windows Phone 7 application to launch educational games and monitor students' progress. A scoring system is used to represent students' development across four areas of study: Mathematics, Science, Technology and Engineering. Each time a student completes a level in a specific area, a customisable piece of their Avatar is unlocked. Teachers can monitor student progress and see what areas the students enjoy or excel at.

Gate to Gate Flight Decision Support System
The information is presented in a graphical view and behind this there are a number of interconnected spatial temporal data connected together. Each piece of information is mapped to a specific notation/graph representation within the single graphical view. Sponsors: Mr Andrew Taylor-Harris - Air Services Australia |

Spatial Marketplace
Sponsors: Ms Cathy Crooks - Department of Sustainability and Environment With the support of: Ms Denise McKenzie - Open Consortium and Mr Domenic Brasacchio - Dialog Information Technology |
The ESDM Data-Capture System is a Windows and Android application designed to be non-intrusive. This system could replace the need for pen and paper. It allows easy creation and management of details relating to therapists, children and guardians, allowing quicker data capture. The use of a headset and handheld controller also allows the therapist to not lost any eye contact with the children during the session.
G2G System is the process of producing a flight plan to describe a proposed aircraft flight. It supports the information display and decision making. The system enables the pilots to make a decision and create an effective flight plan. The user will be able to plan the departure and predict arrival time based on the airport gate information. Finally it is possible to allocate other resources based on the optimised usage of such resources on departure and arrival airports.
The Australia and New Zealand Spatial Marketplace (ANZSM) allows uploading and sharing spatial resources using a web application. The 'Community Environment Module' supports interaction services in the ANZSM platform. These include various features like creating groups to collaborate online, provide interactive feedback in the forums and share spatial resources.
