Module Delivered In 1 programme(s)
Teaching & Learning Strategies: Students are grouped into small teams where each team is coordinated by a tutor. Each team then agrees a provisional specification with their tutor. Teams are given a schedule of milestones in which to research, specify, design, implement and test their chosen project. Teams meet with their tutor at least once per week to get feedback on progress and direction for further work. At two different intervals during the course of the year, each team will present intermediate working builds of their project.
Module Aim: 1. To enable the students bring together knowledge and skills from other programme modules. 2. To provide students with practical experience in developing moderately size projects as part of a team. This module is an elective Project for students who are unable to secure work placement.

Module Content & Assessment

Indicative Content
Project Practicalities
The project is scheduled to run to replicate a full-time project position, running for 12 weeks of the semester. In addition, a number of project preparations lectures are delivered prior to the module start to educate the student as to what is required of them in this module.
Learner Requirements
Learners are expected to work independently on their project. Weekly meetings with their project supervisor provide general guidance, advice and encouragement throughout the project life-cycle. A project diary (reflective journal) is maintained by the learner and must be signed by the project supervisor on a weekly basis. The project presentation provides the learner with valuable experience of presenting their work within a public setting.
Project Content
Learners are required to develop a fully functional,software with professional document in consultation with their assigned project supervisor. The software must contain a significant amount of personal programming effort. Whilst the project has a number of distinct deliverables with attached deadlines, the software process followed is learner-supervisor-project dependent.
