615-373 Industrial Project

615-245 Systems Analysis and Design and 615-275 Project Management (prior to 2000) or 615-372 Industrial Project A (prior to 2002) or 615-372 Project Management. Students must have completed 62.5 points of 200-level information systems subjects.

This subject is based around the completion of a significant information systems project that is of immediate practical use. Clients of the project will be both external and 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; and

• working alone and using a support group of fellow students and an academic staff member.

Progress and end-of-semester reports and end-of-semester presentation. Students may be assessed on individual contributions to group work. Weighting of the assessment components will be announced at the commencement of the subject.
