Course Contents An independent or group investigation development of an information technology related problem under the supervision of a lecturer. Before registering, the student must submit a written proposal to the supervisor to review. The proposal should give a brief outline of the project, estimated schedule of completion, and computer resources needed. A formal written report is essential and an oral presentation may also be required. At the end of the semester, the introduction, literature review and methodology employed should be submitted for grading.
