Information Systems Undergraduate Degree Project: Gaining a Better Understanding of the Final Year Project Module

Abstract

We find that the aims of the projects are similar, emphasising the application of the knowledge and skills from the taught element of their course in a complex development project, often including interactions with a real client. Although we show in this analysis that projects serve a similar purpose in the IS degree courses, the associated learning outcomes and the assessment practice varies across the institutions. We identify some gaps in the skills and abilities that are not being assessed. In further work we are planning to consult final year students undertaking their projects and their supervisors, in order to gain an understanding of how project assessment criteria are actually put to use.

Academic Proposal for Heritage Intervention in a BIM Environment for a 19th Century Flour Factory

“…Different studies propose guiding FPD in a field of engineering specialization with good results [47][48][49][50][51]. Some authors propose the implementation of FPD with collaborating students [48,52,53], but not in the way in which it is proposed in this work within a BIM environment.…”
