IT Research Project 2

The IT Research Project 2 unit is designed for marking the pinnacle of IT students' programming and 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 Research Project 2 unit is the second part of the structured framework composing of NIT6001 and NIT6002. Students taking IT Research Project 2 will further improve the research planning, literature review, methodology designing, data collection according to the feedback received from NIT6001. Based on that, they further conduct and submit 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.

Learning Outcomes

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

1. Design an appropriate research methodology to address specific IT research problem;
2. Compose comprehensive dataset and evaluate research hypotheses;
3. Conclude research findings to derive well-supported conclusions and insights in relation to the research problem;
4. Conclude research findings to derive well-supported conclusions and insights in relation to the research problem; and
5. Exhibit conclusions and recommendations to both specialised and non-specialised audiences.
