Introduction

The main activity in CITS5206 is the development of a software project for an industry client undertaken by a group of students. See the Projects-Offered-2023 link in the navigation bar to review the projects offered this year. Projects and teams will be assigned by the unit coordinator to achieve a balance of skills, aptitudes and student preferences for the projects. The project will be delivered within the 12-week semester, plus study break (there is no final exam for this unit).

News

The first class for CITS5206 is on Thursday 27 July at 3pm in CSSE 2.07. All students should attend the first class face to face. Project groups are allocated and will start work in this class.

At the first class project groups will start work, and important information about the unit will be discussed.
