The final year project is a capstone piece of work where the student demonstrates the effective integration of learning during the programme. During the project, a concept is developed and refined using software design processes, and then converted into a functioning piece of software using the techniques and technologies that have been studied during the programme. In many cases, students will explore new techniques or technologies with a view to utilising them in their project. Full supporting documentation and demonstration is also required.
The students are completing their four year degree program. This piece of work is a culmination of their learning and exposure to various technologies throughout their degree that will support in building the software solution. The material to support the student is evolutionary and particular to the individual student and their project concept and the automation of same.
The module is a self-managed activity with guidance and support from the project supervisor, but ultimately, it is a process of self-direction, self-learning and discovery. Project management and time management are key considerations for the individual.
