COMP 4500SED Applied Computing Project is a two-term, six-credit-unit, 4000-level course within the Bachelor of Computing with Honours in Internet Technology (BCITH) programme suite and the Bachelor of Science with Honours in Computing and Networking (BSCICNH) programme suite. It is a compulsory course for BCITH and BSCICNH. Students will carry out a non-trivial computing project under supervision.

Mandatory prerequisite(s)

Students are required to have studied courses COMP 3110SED and COMP 3590SED before studying this course.

Aims

This course aims to provide an opportunity for students to develop a computing solution for a non-trivial problem in an application or technical domain. Students in the course will integrate knowledge and techniques in computing acquired in earlier courses in the programme and manage the project progress until completion. 

Contents

The final year project course has three major learning components:

  • self-study and workshops on key aspects and tasks of a final year project
  • meetings with supervisor for project related consultation
  • self-directed project work.
