Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities

Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities

You should have successfully completed at least 192 credit points of courses in BH120 Bachelor of Engineering (Software Engineering) (Honours) Program before enrolling in this course


Course Description

This course is taken in the sixth semester of your program. This project work involves you in developing, managing and achieving the objectives of an engineering project and applying technical skills and knowledge in real or simulated workplace scenario. The engineering project encourages a holistic approach to managing the technical and managerial aspects of a project, utilising the multiple technologies and topics you have learnt. You will work on projects in small peersupport groups or in pre-determined project teams. This engineering project activity is carried out either in conjunction with industry or simulates a real engineering work environment, thereby contributing to Work Integrated Learning.

Please note that if you take this course for a bachelor honours program, your overall mark in this course will be one of the course marks that will be used to calculate the weighted average mark (WAM) that will determine your award level. (This applies to students who commence enrolment in a bachelor honours program from 1 January 2016 onwards. See the WAM information web page for more information (www1.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=eyj5c0mo77631).
