Content
Research and development skills and abilities are highly in-demand in the IT industry, with scientific articles essential for advancing knowledge. As part of this unit, students will progress their proposed research project from SIT723 Research Techniques and Applications and the work they are undertaking in SIT746 Research Project (Advanced) to produce a scientific publication associated with this work. Students will research a well-defined area and develop solutions within an identified scope, to meet defined goals and stakeholder requirements. Students will work with an academic supervisor to plan project milestones, adhere to ethical conduct, design validation and verification protocols, and address safety, security, and risk factors. Project implementation and development tasks will enable students to gain advanced theoretical and technical knowledge in their project area. Finally, students will produce a scientific publication as an honours thesis which should target an appropriate conference or journal venue.
