| DESCRIPTION | The final-year project is the largest single piece of work assigned to students throughout their degree. Its main aim is that of exposing the student to the scientific process in Computing and its application in Business environment, from the understanding of the main concepts and issues making up and relating to the chosen domain, and the description of existing work and state-of-the-art of the subject, to the design and development of an artefact related to this domain and the evaluation of this artefact in line with its stated context and objectives. Study-Unit Aims: his study-unit aims at giving the student a better understanding of the scientific process in the field of Computing and the application of learned technology and techniques to the development of a relevant artefact. It exposes the student to the skills necessary for researching a specific domain in the field of computing, relating current works in a logical scientifically substantiated chain of reasoning and developing and objectively evaluating an artefact related to the same domain. It is intended both to consolidate the skills gained throughout the degree programme as well as prepare students to undertake and participate in projects upon graduation. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Learn how to construct a comprehensive literature review; - Extract relevant criteria characterising a specific aspect of the investigated domain; - Provide a solution to a particular issue, putting it in a specific context of study, articulate the criteria that describe the adequacy of a solution, design and develop a solution and finally, asses the solution with respect to the identified criteria; - Produce a well-structured and scientifically substantiated report describing the techniques used and the results obtained. 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Manage the time allocated to perform a task; - Read technical and advanced material; - Structure one's thought in a logical manner; - Carry out individual development on a predefined task to address a predefined real-world phenomenon; - Defend the work done in the dissertation through written, verbal or other forms Main Text/s and any supplementary readings: Mainly Research Papers. |
