The Syllabus
CC313 /CC314 Project Formulation/Project Design & Implementation
Description
These units will provide the student with the opportunity to do a major computing project
which will result in some kind of computing product. It is ‘major’ in the sense that it is of
significant size and intellectual challenge. Topics for projects may be suggested by the
students and perhaps may derive from industrial placement experience. Academic staff may
also suggest suitable topics for selection by students.
The student will be provided with a supervisor for this project. This person will provide
guidance during the project period on the progress of the work, the direction of the study, and
the quality of work carried out.
Aims
These units are designed to provide an opportunity for the expression of individual energy
and ability in completing a significant item of work related to the aims and objectives of the
course.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
1. Construct a problem statement working from unstructured ideas;
2. Plan, schedule, monitor and control the conduct of a small project;
3. Apply some of the tools and techniques developed during the course;
4. Critically evaluate the project work;
5. Communicate the findings of a small project by verbal presentation / demonstration
and written report.
Course Outline
During the first half of the first semester student will produce a Project Proposal document,
which will summarise what the project is all about. The supervisor and a second marker will
give you some feedback on the Project Proposal so that it can be revised if necessary. At the
end of the first semester student should submit to the supervisor a project proposal report.
