Course Description
This course is designed to provide you with hands-on practical experience developing software and/or delivering IT solutions in a project environment. You will work in teams and complete projects from inception to implementation. The emphasis is on understanding and working within a corporate environment, using formal project and software delivery methodologies and integrating all the skills and knowledge that you have acquired into a solid base from which to progress your professional life.
This course includes a work integrated learning (WIL) experience 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
Program Learning Outcomes
This is a required course in BP094 Bachelor of Computer Science, BP162 Bachelor of Information Technology, BP232 Bachelor of Technology (Computing Studies), BH091 Bachelor of Engineering (Computer and Network Engineering) (Hons)/ Bachelor of Computer Science, and BH094 Bachelor of Engineering (Telecommunication Engineering) (Hons)/ Bachelor of Computer Science programs and contributes to the following Program Learning Outcomes:
Enabling Knowledge:
You will gain skills as you apply knowledge effectively in diverse contexts.
Critical Analysis:
You will learn to accurately and objectively examine and consider computer science and information technology (IT) topics, evidence, or situations, in particular to: evaluate and compare designs of software artefacts and IT systems on the basis of organisational and user requirements.
Problem Solving:
Your capability to analyse problems and synthesise suitable solutions will be extended as you learn to: design and implement software solutions that accommodate specified requirements and constraints, based on analysis or modelling or requirements specification.
You will gain skills as you apply knowledge effectively in diverse contexts.
Communication:
You will learn to communicate effectively with a variety of audiences through a range of modes and media, in particular to: present a clear, coherent and independent exposition of software applications, alternative IT solutions, and decision recommendations to both IT and non-IT personnel via technical reports of professional standard and technical presentations.
Team Work:
You will learn to work as an effective and productive team member in a range of professional and social situations, in particular to: work effectively in different roles, to form, manage, and successfully produce outcomes from teams, whose members may have diverse cultural backgrounds and life circumstances, and differing levels of technical expertise.
Responsibility:
You will be required to accept responsibility for your own learning and make informed decisions about judging and adopting appropriate behaviour in professional and social situations. This includes accepting the responsibility for independent life-long learning. Specifically, you will learn to: effectively apply relevant standards, ethical considerations, and an understanding of legal and privacy issues to designing software applications and IT systems.
Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Apply knowledge of the key principles of project management to a significant IT project, choose a suitable development methodology, design and deliver industry standard software and documentation.
- Analyse and solve a problem requiring an IT solution, propose and evaluate alternative approaches by conducting experiments, collecting data, identifying and evaluating the appropriate development tools and frameworks.
- Work collaboratively and effectively in a team environment to plan and implement project requirements, participating as a team member and/or team leader and demonstrating understanding of the team dynamic that is critical to your project’s success.
- Negotiate the project deliverables and milestones and assume responsibility for a successful outcome.
- Communicate with clients in a professional manner, delivering presentations and writing technical research reports using the appropriate language of the field.
Overview of Learning Activities
You will be actively engaged in a range of learning activities such as lectorials, tutorials, practicals, laboratories, seminars, project work, class discussion, individual and group activities. Delivery may be face to face, online or a mix of both.
You are encouraged to be proactive and self-directed in your learning, asking questions of your lecturer and/or peers and seeking out information as required, especially from the numerous sources available through the RMIT library, and through links and material specific to this course that is available through myRMIT Studies Course.
Overview of Learning Resources
RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through myRMIT Studies Course.
There are services available to support your learning through the University Library. The Library provides guides on academic referencing and subject specialist help as well as a range of study support services. For further information, please visit the Library page on the RMIT University website and the myRMIT student portal.
Overview of Assessment
This course has no hurdle requirements. Your assessment is based on a team project.
Projects require team commitment. You should therefore complete most of the project deliverables as a team. The deliverables grow naturally and progressively and templates are provided for most of the required documents. The feedback to the team should be provided at weekly meetings with the client and/or tutor.
Assessment tasks:
Early Assessment Task: Draft Project Documentation
The task includes the first version of documentation of development process as well as of requirements, design and implementations. The documentation should also reflect your team work. This early assessment aims to provide you with early opportunity to help you learn and manage your study and team work progress.
Weighting 10%
This assessment task supports CLOs 1-5
Assessment Task 2: Team Project Report
The task includes the documentation of development process as well as documentation of requirements, design, implementation, test cases and results of testing and deployment. The task also includes the reflection on team work during the project.
Weighting 45%
This assessment task supports CLOs 1-5
Assessment Task 3: Management, Communication and Presentation
The task includes project management, communication with the client or tutor and presentation of project outcomes.
The grading for this task includes the feedback from the client as well as peer and self-reviews.
Weighting 45%
This assessment task supports CLO 3,4,5
