This unit is one of two core capstone project units. In this first project unit, students will work together in teams to initiate, plan and begin the execution of an IT project, to be completed in MIT652 Capstone Project 2. Its aim is to give students the opportunity to apply and extend the knowledge and skills gained in the course to date to a substantial IT project. You will have the opportunity to gain knowledge and skills required for careful planning, scope control and task management to ensure the success of a real-world project. Working in a team of 3-4 members, you will undertake critical tasks required in the early stages of a project, such as: initial concept development and feasibility analysis, requirements gathering and analysis, design and project planning. These activities will result in the delivery of an initial version of the project deliverables such as a proposal, a design document, a literature review, a software prototype, and an execution plan for further development in MIT652 (Capstone Project 2).

This unit covers the fundamentals of data analytics. It aims to develop foundation skills and knowledge required for data driven, evidence-based approaches to decision making and performance analysis. Topics include data collection, preprocessing and transformation, visualization and exploratory analysis, and the mathematical and statistical foundations for data modeling. These will help students develop the understanding they will need to make informed decisions using data analysis and communicate the results effectively. The programming language used is Python which is an excellent environment for building many kinds of analytical applications.
