COMP8280 Responsible Practice, Innovation and Leadership

About the course

This professional practice course for computing and engineering graduate students focuses on developing professional and communication skills essential for the 21st-century workplace.

The course builds upon individual capacity, and further develops students’ professional skills, values, and attributes in ways that directly complement their technical expertise. These skills will enable students to perform effectively in the complex transdisciplinary environments in which computing and engineering professionals operate. In particular, the course will provide students with skills to interpret, critically evaluate, and justify their own and others’ decisions with reference to ethical and professional standards and expectations. The practical focus on these skills and their integration into the computing and engineering curriculum reflects the contemporary expectations of professional organisations (e.g. ACS (Australian Computer Society) and Engineers Australia) and enhances the employment and leadership opportunities of graduates.
