Applied Project 1 is the culmination of student experience in their program. It provides students with the opportunity to apply and integrate their knowledge and skills gained from earlier years and to develop strategies for their transition to professional life. This is achieved in the context of a negotiated two-semester, substantial applied project, related to their discipline area. Students will take responsibility for the design, planning, organisation, implementation and evaluation of the various components required for successful completion of the project. Wherever possible, projects will be sourced from industry partners. Projects may be undertaken by individual students or in small teams.
Applied Project 1 focuses on the scoping, designing and planning of the project. Project proposals will be presented as both a written report and as an oral presentation. Upon successful completion of this unit, students will continue with Applied Project 2 where their project outcomes will be created, delivered and evaluated.
