Module Outline
This module will give students the opportunity to complete an extensive piece system design and implementation work under the supervision of a member of faculty. Students will be able to choose from a range of project topics or offer a project of their own. All topics will require the application of skills and knowledge gained through previous modules of study and will involve the student in the design and build of a technological solution to a Computer Science related problem (using programming, modelling, simulation tools as appropriate). Some project topics will be available in collaboration with commerce and industry and will enable students to experience the methods and approaches of non-academic institutions. The teaching methods used will individual/small group meetings to discuss progress.
