SQ533 Team Project
10 credit points in semester one and 10 credit points in
semester two 3 hours per week in semester one and three
hours per week in semester two Hawthorn Prerequisites:
SQ305 and SQ314 Instruction: Lectures and practical work
Assessment: assignments and examination
A core subject in the Bachelor of Applied Science
(Computer Science).
Objective and Content
In this subject, students will apply the software engineering
skills acquired throughout the degree, to a substantial group
software development project. Student groups will choose
from a range of projects and they will then have to analyse
the project's requirements, design and then develop the
system to the best of their ability in the time available.
Subject to the approval of the lecturer, students may
generate their own project.
