This module enables students to put into practice the knowledge
and skills they have acquired from the course to develop solutions
for real-life applications. Projects and/or jobs will be assigned to
students who will work under the mentorship and supervision of
experienced staff at a company to develop and produce the desired
job and project deliverables. In addition to equipping students with
technical and soft skills for project development, this module will
enable them to develop problem-solving skills, instil the habit of
lifelong learning and develop a global mindset to prepare them for
entry into the workforce.
