Engineering Technology Project B (ENG/CS)

Overview

This is a final year capstone project-based unit in which students work individually, or in teams if the project is a large industry project, to apply their skills to generate e a combination of computing and engineering technology solution to an industry challenge. The project is part 2 of a year-long project. Having an overall focus on engineering technology innovation, students will be focusing on the design and implementation stages of the year-long project continuing on from the work completed in the Engineering Technology Project A unit and under the guidance of an Academic facilitator.

Unit learning outcomes

Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:

1. Create real-world computing and engineering technology project by applying professional ethical practices as an IT practitioner and by incorporating relevant methods, techniques, tools, processes, and standards
2. Create project and handover strategies that align with ethical standards and meet information security requirements
3. Create structured approaches to planning, execution, monitoring, and delivery of a computing and engineering technology project, incorporating requirements engineering, system design and development, risk analysis, quality assurance practices, and change management strategies
4. Communicate and work effectively within teams and with diverse stakeholders by demonstrating appropriate use of verbal, written, and digital communication strategies tailored to professional and project-specific contexts
