Module code: COS7048-B
The module aims to give students experience of carrying out a computer science research project that solves a particular research problem relevant to the programme of study (e.g. Cyber Security, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data Systems, Internet of Things, etc.). The students will either provide a computational solution using scientific tools and methods and performing computational analysis, or they provide a software engineering solution by developing a fully functional software system using state-of-the-art software development techniques.
By working in teams, the students are expected to demonstrate the need for a professional approach to all aspects of research and software development. As part of the project, teams will deliver reports, code, and demonstrate a working software system or a computational solution. In addition, they will present certain elements of their work in written, graphical and verbal forms through the production of materials, e.g. reports, a demo, and an oral presentation. The students will be guided by academics or researches from the relevant research disciplines.
