FIT1016 &FIT2044 Advanced Project

Semester 2, 2008

Students must enrol by Friday 25^th July by completing an Enrolment Amendment Form. Please hand in to Clayton School of IT General Office.

These are zero-credit-point units designed to challenge the more advanced 1st and 2nd year students in the B. Computer Science, B. Software Engineering, B. Science majoring in Computer Science, and other related double degrees. This unit introduces students to a variety of topics outside the curriculum, and provides an opportunity to write programs (or, rarely, to build hardware) in an area of interest to the student and the School. The subject operates in an informal manner, and the programming tasks are designed to be interesting and challenging to advanced students. Students will typically meet with their supervisor on a weekly basis and in addition to demonstrating the results of their project, they will also give an oral presentation at the end of the semester.

Final Presentations: Monday 20^th October, Room 115, Building 63.
