This unit is a duplicate unit of FIT5120. The ITIxxxx units have been created for the Monash Indonesia offering of the Master of Data Science due to the different teaching mode.

On successful completion of this unit, you should be able to:

1. critically analyse complex information relevant to an advanced specialist domain and identify information requirements interpreting how they may be of benefit to an organisation or a community;
2. analyse how specialist domain projects are developed and evaluate the underlying principles and reasons underpinning each aspect of the development process, proposing the need for and then using, a context ?driven methodological approach to deliver;
3. differentiate and synthesise the interrelated roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders of a project and assess and analyse why these roles are important for a successful project;
4. apply, in an industry standard setting, new concepts as well as aspects of theoretical approaches already learned, selecting the most appropriate fit for a specific situation and the rationale for that selection applying investigative research;
5. demonstrate discernment and judgement in effective two-way communication to all stakeholders/audiences, both specialist and generalist, by using innovative, relevant and meaningful mechanisms to disseminate knowledge and ideas;
6. contrast and apply the most suitable professional practice skills on issues relevant to the chosen area of practice and operate effectively as a member of that practice team;
7. evaluate, assess and communicate both personal and team progress and learning, thus engaging in meaningful reflective practice of one?s self and the outcomes and process of the projects.

This industry experience studio project capstone unit gives students the opportunity to work in teams to research contemporary approaches to developing a defined project, develop new skills and apply the knowledge and skills they have already gained in a practical setting.

Teams will research and create a meaningful and beneficial problem space or design question and then carry out research or design in a systematic manner to develop and deliver a solution to industry standards, for use by organisations and/or community groups. Teams will be self managed and may be a mix of students drawn from all Masters courses in the faculty, depending on the specialist field.

Throughout this process students will need to communicate findings, knowledge and ideas effectively and professionally to a range of stakeholders, with a range of IT knowledge, in relevant and innovative ways. The stakeholders will include academics, peers, project-based stakeholders and senior industry experts. The students will attend unit seminars, carry out research individually and contribute in a professional, committed and collegial manner to the work of their team and studio peers.

On-campus

ITI5120 and ITI5122 are team taught.

In-semester assessment: 100% . As the unit is an authentic project-based experience replicating industry experience and using industry mentors to mentor, an examination would not be a suitable way to assess the student's achievement of the learning objectives, as a result the assessment is 100% based on in-semester deliverables, which together create the final project.

Minimum total expected workload equals 24 hours per week comprising:

(a.) Contact hours for on-campus students:

Two x 1-hour seminars Two x 2-hour studio laboratories, Two x 1 hour meeting\consultation times (b.) Additional requirements (all students):

A minimum of 16 hours independent study per week for completing project work individually and with team members, potential stakeholders meetings and review work Malaysia students will work in virtual teams with Caulfield students

Laboratories must be booked in studio spaces. Maximum of 20 students per studio group.

Where students are doing FIT5122 in the same semester, the studios for FIT5122 should be linked to the studios for FIT5120 as the students will be working in the same teams across the 2 units.

FIT

All other students must be in their final semester of study or have completed 72 points of units towards their FIT degree.

Full time students will take ITI5122 as a co-requisite.

Part-time students must take ITI5122 as a prerequisite, in the semester before their final semester.
