Programme Booklet 2014/15 BSc(Hons) in Internet and Multimedia Technologies (42477) 6. HONOURS PROJECT / COMPUTER GAME DEVELOPMENT PROJECT The Honours Project/ Computer Game Development Project is considered to be of great importance. This is reflected in the number of credits it carries, being 6 credits which are equivalent to two standard-sized subjects. Furthermore, the result of the Honours Project/ Computer Game Development Project will be very important when the Board of Examiners considers the award classification of a student. Normally, the Board of Examiners will expect a very good grade for the Honours Project/ Computer Game Development Project when a student is to be awarded a high Honours classification. One of the important features of the project is “learning by doing”. It is intended to be a platform for students to develop their intellectual and innovative abilities, and to give them the opportunities to integrate and apply the knowledge and analytical skills gained in previous stages of study. It should also provide students with opportunities to develop their problemsolving skills and communication skills. The process from concept to final implementation and testing, through problem identification and the selection of appropriate solutions will be practised by the students. 6.1 Project Management 6.1.1 Honours Project Normally each student will be assigned one project under the supervision of an academic staff member so that he/she will work independently to achieve the project objectives. In other cases, several students may work on different aspects of a largescale project. The assignment of projects is expected to be completed by the month of June preceding the beginning of the final year of study. Guidelines for Honours Project are given to students at the beginning of the final year. 6.1.2 Computer Game Development Project The Computer Game Development Project consists of lectures which introduce basic technical components in 3D game programming, including architecture of 3D game engine, and algorithms and trends in their future developments. Students are required to study a new algorithm and study its implications in 3D game design and development. Department of Electronic and Information Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Programme Booklet 2014/15 BSc(Hons) in Internet and Multimedia Technologies (42477) Students are also required to complete a number of tasks corresponding to those essential technical components in laboratory sessions, which serve as the basis for students to realize the project. Students have to form a group to work on a project to design, implement and evaluate a playable game to demonstrate their understanding in the entire game production process. 6.2 Project Assessment 6.2.1 Honours Project Assessment of the Honours Project focuses in three main areas: project reports, oral presentations and work done over the whole project period. Assessment will be done by the project supervisor and an assessor. The Project Management Team, which is composed of the Programme Leader and staff members from teaching sections, will oversee the overall standard of assessment of the projects. The Project Management Team will also oversee the daily operation, such as fixing the dates of project report submission, oral presentation, demonstration, etc. 6.2.2 Computer Game Development Project Written assignment is given to students so that students can study new algorithms in 3D computer game and understand their implications in 3D game design and development. Laboratories are organized to let students learn and practise basic technical components in a 3D game engine for realizing a 3D game. Each student is required to complete a predefined task according to a lab sheet for each laboratory session. Students form groups of at most three members to work on a project. Each group creates an original playable game from its own idea, and evaluate the game with intended players. During the project period, each group is required to submit assignments corresponding to different stages of the game development process. At the end of the project, each group is required to demonstrate their game and present their work to the class.
