This is an Individual Research Project (IRP) within the Bachelor of Advanced Computing (Research and Development) (Honours) degree. Students do multiple IRPs during their program, with each one specifically designed to provide a strong research focus customised to each student. These give students valuable research experience along with the opportunity to explore different research areas prior to their final Honour's project.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- plan and engage in an independent and sustained critical investigation and evaluation of a chosen computer science research topic,
- engage in systematic discovery and critical review of appropriate and relevant information sources,
- propose, develop and evaluate different approaches for solving a research problem, and
- communicate research concepts and contexts clearly and effectively both in writing and orally.

Projects
Indicative Assessment

The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website.
