The nominated team has worked tirelessly in the Professional eXpereince (PX) unit in organising, supervising and preparing students for the demands of the ICT sector.
PX is an industry-based, real-life, capstone-project unit. Projects are sought from external entities, including local government, small, medium and large enterprises, charities, other universities and within UWS. A representative from the organisation acts as the client for the project. Students are grouped and allocated to a project that challenges them at the right-level, enhancing employability-skills such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, self-initiative, planning and organising and self-learning. Each group is supervised by a School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics (SCEM) academic, who mentors and guides the students throughout the semester.
Team Bridge-Builders organise and supervise the projects and have provided an engaged learning environment where students are supported to develop as ICT professionals in a nurturing academic setting. The PX engagement model coupled with academic supervision creates a win-win situation for students, client organisations and UWS.
