Overview
| B IT | Core |
The subject is designed for final year students. It provides an opportunity to complete an information technology project related to each student’s professional interests, and includes the necessary preparation for the project. Student will be asked to participate in project work including peer reviews. The main features of the subject are: Group-based project; learning collaboration, reflection, self-regulation methods through learning by doing; learning important steps that are used in projects in large organisations; role development in projects; and developing different project artefacts (e.g. requirements, design, prototypes) and activities (e.g., documenting, testing, implementing, reviewing). Students are required to apply, synthesize and demonstrate the skills that they have developed in earlier information technology subjects. Please refer to Appendix A for more details.
Students work in groups (maximum of 4) guided by an academic supervisor and industry mentor. Students are required to develop an integrated solution with a technical specification to real-world system requirements. The activities involve requirements capture, analysis and design, coding, and testing. Suitable projects are sourced from external organisations or within KOI. When the projects are sourced from external organisations, the academic supervisor may add additional requirements in order to increase the complexity of the given problems. Please refer to Appendix B for the minimum requirements of the Capstone Project.
