Prerequisites
COS70008 Technology Innovation ProjectAims and objectives
This is a project-based unit in which students work in teams to apply a solution to an industry driven challenge. The project will have a substantial emphasis on technology application. Teams of students will have a staff member as a ‘facilitator’ whilst working on this project. Student teams will be allowed to select a project from a range of industry oriented application projects aligned to their chosen specialisation or course discipline.
Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO)
On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to:
1 Select and apply appropriate technologies and sources of information to provide cost-effective solutions to real-life problems in the context of a technology application project
2 Appraise the technology challenges of independently performing scholarly and applied research
3 Select and apply proper research methods and practices to interpret and critically appraise data acquired during technology application
4 Plan, design, develop and present solutions for a real-life project in a team environment that demonstrates scholarship in one field relevant to technology application
5 Demonstrate an understanding of the relationships between the knowledge studied in technical units and its practical application in a real-life organisational setting, through reflective practice, and self and peer evaluation
6 Demonstrate an awareness and understanding of ethical and professional behaviours as well as social and cultural perspectives in an organisational context
