IT Thesis 2

The IT Thesis 2 unit is designed for marking the pinnacle of IT students' research expertise, encompassing diverse IT techniques like computer vision, natural language processing, blockchain, cyber security, data mining, database design, etc. Whenever possible, projects are sourced from industry partners, establishing a vital link between academic learning and real-world IT challenges. Its primary objectives are to establish a robust foundation for students to address specific research challenges, enhance their skills in theoretical application, problem-solving, and communication, and fortify other essential professional capabilities for their career advancement.



The IT Thesis 2 unit is the second part of the structured framework composing of IT Thesis 1 and IT Thesis 2. Students taking IT Thesis 2 will further improve the research planning, literature review, methodology designing, data collection according to the feedback received from IT Thesis1. Based on that, they continue to conduct more comprehensive data collection, data analysis, experimental evaluation, result analysis, and conclusion. By the unit's conclusion, students are expected to submit a comprehensive report encompassing a literature review, research problem formulation, research methods, data collection, experimental evaluation, result analysis, and conclusion. This unit is typically following the completion of IT Thesis 1.

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:

1. Design appropriate research methodologies for addressing complex IT research problems;
2. Compose comprehensive dataset to discriminate research hypotheses and evaluate selected methodologies;
3. Interpret research findings and insights that advance the understanding of the research problem;
4. Justify the effectiveness and limitations of research methods and conduct necessary refinement; and
5. Advocate conclusions and recommendations in a structured report for both specialised and non-specialised audiences.
