Based on your organisations goals, students will apply skills to build software and embedded systems to achieve your goals.

Students will work with you to:

• Develop requirements, user stories and customer archetypes for your project.
• Utilise a development method in order to deliver your work
• Iterate and refine designs to meet your needs.
• Test the system and create documentation for you to use the system on completion

Example projects include, but are not limited to:

• Frontend and back-end website development
• Application software development
• Mobile Apps
• Games programming projects (Unity, C++)

We are looking software development/programming challenges that meet the following criteria;

• Must have a substantial programming element
• The deadlines are dictated by the module calendar [Jan to April]. Projects must be defined by mid December
• Students must have the project approved by an academic for us to check whether it is a valid project.
• Project provider must provide feedback to the students on their work and respond to us at the end of the term about their involvement in the project.
• Project provider can request for the projects to be kept confidential, in which case their contents will be seen by the module team, the corresponding project markers, moderators and external examiners. This includes the written report and the corresponding code generated.
• Students are required to write a report according to the module requirements describing the project and the effort involved. They also record a video showing what they developed and discuss challenging parts of the code.
• Students can work as a part of a team, but their task has to be self-contained and self-managed.
• Intellectual property arrangements can be agreed between the client and the student using appropriate NDA agreements.

As a project owner you will be be required to give you formal consent to the project, state how tyou are going to use the application in your organisation, declare what resources you are making available to the student, and at the end sign off the project. In addition, markers will be looking for evidence in the project report students have complied with the organisation’s standards and practises.
