Run by School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering

20.000 Credits or 10.000 ECTS Credits

Semester 2

To allow students to:

• apply an appropriate process/methodology to re-designing, re-implementing/rebuilding and evaluating their prototype solution.
• explore and understand the wider impact of their work, including pertinent professional, ethical, social, technological, legal, and environmental aspects.
• convey the results of their work, using a variety of media, to a varied audience within their field.

Exact content varies by student and their employer, however the project will be based around 'correct' re-implementation of the software from ICL-3003.

threshold

Equivalent to 40%. Uses key areas of theory or knowledge to meet the Learning Outcomes of the module. Is able to formulate an appropriate solution to accurately solve tasks and questions. Can identify individual aspects, but lacks an awareness of links between them and the wider contexts. Outputs can be understood, but lack structure and/or coherence.

good

Equivalent to the range 60%-69%. Is able to analyse a task or problem to decide which aspects of theory and knowledge to apply. Solutions are of a workable quality, demonstrating understanding of underlying principles. Major themes can be linked appropriately but may not be able to extend this to individual aspects. Outputs are readily understood, with an appropriate structure but may lack sophistication.

excellent

Equivalent to the range 70%+. Assemble critically evaluated, relevent areas of knowledge and theory to constuct professional-level solutions to tasks and questions presented. Is able to cross-link themes and aspects to draw considered conclusions. Presents outputs in a cohesive, accurate, and efficient manner.

1. Select, and justify use of appropriate methods for the given project to enhance functionality, usability, or maintainability of the software.

2. Reconstruct the previous prototype, using the best-of-breed approaches taught.

3. Generate a project plan and exercise self-management to deliver a software project within constraints.

4. Compose written findings of the work (including summarising related works) to academics, peers and the wider community.
