Computer Science Project 2
Townsville, Cairns
HECS Band 2
Semester 1 and 2.
Available to Computer Science/Information Technology postgraduate students. Permission by the Head of School is also required.
This subject is the second half of a minor project in Computer Science/Information Technology to be carried out under the supervision of one or more staff members. This second half of the project will require the detailed design and implementation of the solution to a problem formulated in CP5046 and the verification and evaluation of the results. A complete account of the work done must be submitted in the final report, which should include a critical appraisal of the objective, techniques and results of the project and presented as a seminar.
Learning Objectives:
- apply principles and methods of scientific research learned during execution of a supervised research project from inception to reporting of results;
- develop project management, design and implementation skills;
- produce a substantial piece of technical writing in the form of a thesis or report and in a seminar.
Students should be able to demonstrate the required capabilities at a level appropriate for postgraduate studies, including advanced analysis, design, management, implementation and reporting skills.
Assessment in this subject involves on-course assessment including presentations, assignments and submission of project reports. Full details of the assessment are handed out to students in the first week of the semester and will be published on the Web.
