ICT Project B
Overview
This is a project-based unit in which students work individually, or in teams if the project is a large industry project, to provide students with the skills to generate an ICT solution to solve one or more industry challenges specifically designed and oriented towards ICT. Having an overall focus on ICT innovation, students will be focusing on the research and development stages of the year-long project continuing on from the work you completed in ICT30017 ICT Project A unit. Teams of students will have a staff member as a facilitator to guide their learning whilst working on their projects.
