Subject Description

This subject is based around the completion of a significant information systems project that is of immediate practical use. Clients for the project may be either external or internal to the university. Students may work in teams, depending on the size of the project. Regular meetings of the entire group of students in the subject will be the occasion for students to provide progress reports. There will be lectures and discussions on such topics as project selection, the project process, relevant Australian standards, and information technology architectures.

At the completion of this subject, students should have gained experience in:

• applying the tools and techniques covered in the course
• selecting, planning, executing, managing, reporting on, documenting, and completing a substantial information systems project
• working alone and using a support group of fellow students and an academic staff member

Assessment

End-of-semester project report and presentation. One one hour tutorial and up to eight hours of project work per week. One three hour meeting per fortnight. Weighting of the assessment components will be announced at the commencement of the subject.
