Summary/Overview
You will implement the project proposal developed during the research methods
and emerging technologies unit. Although you will be working independently, you
will have regular meetings with your supervisor to guide and support you. You will
apply coherently your technical, analytical, practical and managerial skills during
your project development.
The project is an important opportunity to expand your experience in an area which
is of close relevance to the course that you are studying (e.g. Computer Science,
Electronic Engineering, and Computer Games Development). Your project may be
of relevance to a future employer, and will demonstrate your interest and ability in
the chosen area. As such your project topic should be aligned with your career
aspirations.
