Handbook

Capstone Project provides a self-directed learning opportunity, to allow you to apply the skills learned in this program to an exploratory management or leadership project in cyber security. You will have individual responsibility for the timely completion of a significant engineering or research project under the guidance of a member of academic staff. You will be expected to demonstrate a professional level of preparation, planning, execution, testing and documentation. You will be expected to meet a number of strictly enforced milestones and to take considerable initiative in overcoming obstacles.

This project will need to be pre-approved. Example projects include integrating your learning into a business or organisation, directed novel research (either individually or in a group), or a researched paper that benefits the community at large. Example projects include contributing to, or making new software that benefits the community, a directed project to produce novel research (either individually or as a group), conducting a security assessment and providing appropriate feedback, or integrating your new skills into a business or organisation. This course aims to both integrate the skills and knowledge from the different courses within the degree, and also to provide opportunities to focus on areas that interest you.
