About this Unit
This unit is the culmination and application of knowledge a student will have gained as part of their studies to date. The projects are undertaken within a team environment and are to provide solutions for real computing problems sourced from main ICT vendors, governmental departments and other relevant businesses.
The problems will apply to a wide range of fields including but not limited to: computer science, computer forensics, e-Business, information systems, games and editors, e-Health, e-Government and e-Voting, biomedical applications, e-Learning and PDA, mobile and wireless technologies, latest technologies and service-oriented architectures (SOA). The group will follow established software engineering methodology in all stages of the design and implementation of project, including elements of project management, version control and required documentation.
The focus of the unit is the delivery of a software product of a marketable quality, including complete technical documentation and user manuals.
