UniSA Project Fair Day and BIS Co-operative Program
I attended 2 UniSA events this week.
The first at Mawson Lakes Campus was the School of Computer and Information Science (CIS) Student Project Fair Day. A showcase of 90 final year projects, the Day celebrates their achievements. Projects covered software engineering, multimedia, information systems and web site development, for organisations such as the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, DSTO, Comunet, Northern Sound Systems, SAPOL, Cancer Council of SA, Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement, Megaw and Hogg, and many more.
Because of the number of projects, some 25 students gave a 1 minute elevator pitch to the audience on their project. The projects were able to be seen at display booths after the formalities were completed.
The 2nd at Chifley Hotel was Final Student Presentations for six projects undertaken for leading Adelaide organisations by top final year and postgraduate students in the BIS Cooperative Program. Projects included business needs and potential solutions for a digital photo library; strategic investigation of connected customer interaction; building a business case for a mobility solution; SAP portal roll-out; building a contract and contract clauses database; and client management system review.
The importance of students being involved in real industry projects, both students and industry participants are winners in this program,
