CYB309 – Industry Project
This is a 12-credit point unit taken during the final trimester of the course. It provides students with an authentic learning experience that applies the knowledge, skills and attributes developed throughout the course of study. Students have the opportunity to undergo a defined program of work that is provided by an external client, potentially an industry partner of AAHE, which helps students achieve the desired learning outcomes of the unit. Students apply the knowledge and skills attained throughout the course to hands-on activities that develop creative solutions to real-world problems in a professional context. Projects will facilitate student engagement on a complex cybersecurity problem arising from a real-life scenario, as negotiated and defined by the client and the student with oversight by the AAHE academic supervisor.
Learning Outcomes:
- Apply discipline specific knowledge and skills to solve real-world problems in a professional context
- Clearly present a coherent exposition of the problems faced, methods applied and professional decisions taken on complex theoretical and technical cybersecurity issues to specialist and non-specialist audiences
- Demonstrate ability to interpret and respond to feedback and reflect on personal work experiences during the project
- Apply acquired cybersecurity competencies in meeting stakeholder goals through active engagement, teamwork and collaboration in a professional manner that demonstrates an excellent work ethic
