INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

CYB5IDP

2019

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

The project focuses on developing students' skills in teamwork, system design, implementation, testing and documentation. Students learn to design Information Technology projects covering network management or software development or data science for efficiency, portability and re-use, as well as to take advantage of different standards and system utilities, data and information management techniques. The projects require students to work in small development teams and result in the development of a small-scale industry-based system. The laboratory work is designed to bring students up to speed on relevant development skills and to provide them with a working knowledge sufficient for industrial-type network, data science and software development projects. The subject also integrates previously learned project management skills and knowledge relating to social and ethical issues.

Graduate capabilities & intended learning outcomes

01. Apply advanced skills and knowledge to effectively manage industry-based project meetings and progress

Activities:
Lab classes provide usage examples of collaborative tools and generic problem-solving techniques relevant to group projects.

02. Constructively consider specifications and the use of relevant standards to the design of software or network systems

Activities:
Workshop and lab classes to discuss designing systems and the literature to support the accompanying standards.

03. Develop and implement product prototypes following industry standard AGILE project methodologies

Activities:
Lab classes and practical workshops to learn and apply AGILE to product development

04. Produce professional quality documentation to clearly articulate industry relevant outcomes.

Activities:
Practical workshops and seminars for developing documentation.

05. Use professional oral communication skills to effectively convey industry applicable outcomes to expert and non-expert audiences.
