Disgrifiad cryno

Students must complete a substantial piece of technical and written work under the direction of a supervisor but involving self discipline, organisation and initiative. The projects typically involve developing a piece of software from an initial statement of requirements through specification and design stages, to successful implementation and testing. For students with a suitable background the project may contain a hardware element. Other projects may research technical areas and develop software and processes to assess those areas.

By working on this project, the students will learn to apply and develop their skills to the selective programme, complete the project and document their progress. The students will develop a complete product from the stage of specifying requirements through to demonstrating that the product does indeed satisfy those requirements. This process involves producing appropriate documentation, including documentation of the design decisions made. Research focussed projects will also emphasise research process and the evaluation of the results.

Nod

To undertake a substantial piece of technical work that draws together the skills developed during the student’s course. To report on the technical work in the form of demonstrations, discussion and a written report.

Cynnwys

There are up to 10 lectures associated with the project.

Various written materials will be provided, giving guidance on carrying out the project, assessment issues, and the project submission. Students are expected to organise their time on the project each week and to see their supervisor regularly. This course is assessed on technical achievement, as evidenced by demonstrations, the technical work and results, together with a substantial written report.
