SDCM73-111: BIM/IPD Capstone (Work Placement)

This subject will be conducted as a work placement under the supervision of a collaborative team including a work based mentor and an academic supervisor. Students will demonstrate their learning through the use of a personal portfolio while observing a set of deadlines and completing tasks agreed in advance with the supervisory team. It is expected that the students will demonstrate a critical awareness of the context in which the project is undertaken as well as an evaluation of their own role in that context. Students should present critical analyses, based on research in the literature, their choices of methods of enquiry for specific tasks and evaluation of how these choices relate to and impact on their workplace settings. The students work-based mentor and academic supervisor will have access to their portfolio throughout the duration of the project. The research and evidence should be structured according to standard project management/product development techniques (Lean/IPD) helping the student maintain focus and apply principles learned throughout the duration of the program.
