Course Description

INTE1130 Industry Awareness Project is the initial component of a 24-credit point capstone sequence. The subsequent component is INTE1131 Industry Linkage Project. 
Both capstone courses build on the capabilities acquired during your previous and concurrent studies within MC159 Master of Cybersecurity 
Cybersecurity professionals are routinely required to access, investigate, synthesise and critically assess the quality and relevance of information, generate solutions to problems and devise a variety of implementation strategies. 
In INTE1130 Industry Awareness Project you will have conducted a substantial literature based project on a contemporary industry cybersecurity that demonstrated elements of research and inquiry. INTE1131 Industry Linkage Project provides the opportunity to implement the ideas that were researched in INTE1130 and further engage with an industry partner. This implementation phase may vary across projects but could take the form of writing an instructional manual or handbook and/or code development and associated tasks for an industry partner. An industry representative should be identified to discuss the focus of your work and its relevance to that industry. Your project may take the form of a work placement with your Industry Partner. 
This course includes a Work Integrated Learning component in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context and where feedback from industry and/or community is integral to your experience 


Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcomes for MC159 Master of Cyber Security:

International Orientation and Strategic Thinking

• Graduates will have a strategic and practical overview of the issues in information security and assurance.

Critical Analysis and Problem Solving

In this area graduates will possess the ability to
• Evaluate information security risks across diverse service settings including the Internet and WWW based commerce systems, high bandwidth digital communications and funds transfer services,
• Undertake professional careers or postgraduate research in information security or other IT related fields, acquiring the required information needed to identify real world solutions to real world information security problems.

Communication

• Graduates will have the ability to communicate both technical and non-technical material in a range of forms (written, electronic, graphic, oral) and to tailor the style and means of communication to different audiences.

Ethical Values

• Graduates will exhibit an ability to appreciate the ethical considerations that inform judgments and decision making in academic and professional settings.

Self-Management, Teamwork and Leadership
