Aims and objectives

This is a project-based unit in which students work in teams to innovate a solution to an industry driven challenge. The project will have a substantial emphasis on research and innovation. It will also prepare students for ICT research in non-academic contexts such as legal, government, commercial and software production environments. 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 innovation projects aligned to their chosen specialisation or course discipline.
