Capstone Project 2

Module Description

This module is a summative review of the theoretical concepts learnt during modules 11-19. The first part of the module will focus on recapping and refreshing the theoretical concepts covered in those modules. The second part of the course will focus on introduction to case studies.

Additionally, this part will focus on discussion on progress and challenges related to interpretation of those case studies and ways of working forward.
An application of knowledge related to module 11-19 will be assessed through a Capstone Project.

The aim of the capstone project is to integrate the coursework concepts and knowledge via analysis of case studies pertaining to Modules 11-19. Students are to adapt their theoretical knowledge to implement and tune solutions to a real-life challenge/scenario.
