Unit description
This unit continues the project in ISY10221 - Computing Project I. It requires students to control and finalise their project and perform software prototyping, coding, testing and installation. Students will have opportunities to demonstrate and apply their skills of project management, software validation, programming, testing, documentation, communication and maintenance of relationships with other stakeholders. A student will demonstrate skills specific to their major of study as well as core skills applied to the project undertaken.
Unit content
There are no new topics introduced for this unit, as it is a capstone unit where you are expected to demonstrate the skills to undertake the development of a project. The topics of most relevance to achieving the goals of this unit are as follows:
-

Learning outcomes
Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.
