Aims & Learning
Objectives:
To develop skills of individual project effort in a computer based practical undertaking with original development content related to one or more of the lecture modules previously studied.
On completion of the Unit students should be able to survey the literature related to a broadly specified area of technology and present an orderly written survey which places an individual project undertaking in context. They should be able to identify the tasks to be completed, plan a scheme of work, and complete the project to the standard expected of a young professional in the undertaking chosen. They should be able to assemble and create the necessary software tools, carry out the development of the solution of a technical problem in multimedia, and evaluate the effectiveness of their solution against common standards of quality. They should be able to demonstrate the successful completion of these tasks in a well structured and coherently written dissertation.
Content:
Students will choose a project from a list of topics offered by the Departments, or propose their own. The project will be implemented in software but could also involve the use of low level hardware. The students will be expected to follow through the accepted problem solving route, beginning with the identification and specification of the problem and searching of the relevant literature. They should then proceed to proposals for solution, analysis of alternatives, implementation of the chosen solution and final evaluation and testing. A written dissertation will be submitted at the completion of the project.
