| Project Objectives:
The company wishes to establish the infrastructure and content
of an engineering and information technology knowledge base.
The infrastructure refers to a framework that will identify,
develop if appropriate and accumulate:
- The relevant technical expertise and know-how
- Technology applications in NZ
- Procedures for handling system integration and implementation
projects
This BTech project is designed to be part of the CNZ knowledge
development process and to provide a bridge to final year student
to reach industry from academic background.
Project Work Content:
This year¡¦s work will be a continuation of the work completed
by the four students last year. We will continue to complete
and polish the development of a MySQL based back-end database
and an Apache based front-end web site with the use of PHP.
For the contents of the knowledge base, we will have to:
- Establish a technology scoping document for each class
of customers
- Identify the state of each technology (E.g. Who are the
suppliers and what are the related standards)
- Identify the existence of skills in the NZ IT industry
We will also do some research while we are implementing the
knowledge base. The scopes of research are system hardware platform,
network and user connectivity, and operating software platforms.
Each scope should address key concerns including maturity of
standards, functionality, scalability, availability, security,
ease of operation and maintenance, market offering, price zoning,
and coverage of BTech degree syllabus.
Project Deliverables:
Ć Business Management QA Manual
Ć Project Management QA Manual
Ć Web Site for Public Reference (Restricted Access)
Ć Knowledge Database of technology Disciplines
Ć Database of Potential Customers
Ć Research Reports
Ć Industry Presentation Slides
Learning Objectives:
We will develop skills about planning, researching, and reporting
while we are participating in this project. We act as the R&D
division of CNZ and provide information solutions that IT and
engineering consultants may require. Learning objectives shall
include:
- Application of theories and techniques to solve real life
technical problems
- Project planning and team collaboration
- Real life development and maintenance of a web database
- Interface with the IT and engineering industry in NZ
- Technical writing and report presentation
