- Introduction
To enable you the opportunity to exercise your learnings from this unit, a scenario simulation has been prepared to provide students the opportunity to make a series of decisions at differing points in the life cycle of an engineering system. The initial objective of this scenario is to allow students to reflect on the role and impact of stakeholder engagement techniques through the life of a project. As the unit progresses you will engage with different aspects of the project, from a corporate and community perspectives through to the design team and the role of virtual teams.






OVERVIEW OF ASSIGNMENT 1







The first assignment is to develop a research paper of 2000 words in size (excluding reference listing). Review either the retail or finance industry sectors and provide an in-depth analysis of IT Procurement (products and services) challenges within and provide recommendations on how to overcome those challenges. (Quality of discussion is more important than the quantity i.e. marks will be awarded to the depth of your analysis, not to the ‘number’ of challenges identified.)
