Students will conduct a small, one semester long (6-unit) project, under supervision, that in area of computing of mutual interest to the student and their supervisor. The project will involve applying and increasing the depth of the student's knowledge in some aspect of computing. The activities in the course will normally include some combination of reading, writing, project work and presentation, as appropriate to the topic. The specific learning objectives, project overview and assessment arrangements will be specified at the outset using the Project Registration Form.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- Apply the student's knowledge and implementation skills in the in computer science for the project course, and apply this to a specific project topic in that area.
- Deepen their knowledge of computing through undertaking the project.
- Apply any specific technical skills required by their topic, and apply them to the project work.
- Apply relevant project-related skills, including project management and oral and written communication, and apply these to the project work.
