This is an Individual Research Project (IRP) within the Bachelor of Advanced Computing (Research and Development) (Honours) degree. Students do multiple IRPs during their program, with each one specifically designed to provide a strong research focus customised to each student. These give students valuable research experience along with the opportunity to explore different research areas prior to their final Honour's project.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- plan and engage in an independent and sustained critical investigation and evaluation of a chosen computer science research topic,
- engage in systematic discovery and critical review of appropriate and relevant information sources,
- propose, develop and evaluate different approaches for solving a research problem, and
- communicate research concepts and contexts clearly and effectively both in writing and orally.
Indicative Assessment
- An appropriate combination of written report, artefact, and seminar presentations. This will be set out in the 'Independent Study Contract' for each student at the start of each course. (null) [LO null]
