Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- describe the structure of typical standards and regulation for a range of domains of application
- explain and motivate the goals set by regulation and standards and how they influence the requirements for compliant systems
- given an example system and standard or regulation, justify what evidence would be needed to comply with the regulation or standard
- given an example system development process and standard or regulation, evaluate how effective the process can be in generating evidence of compliance to the standard or regulation

Additional Information
| Graduate Attributes and Skills |
Research and enquiry: problem-solving, critical/analytical thinking, handling ambiguity, knowledge integration - these are all developed in building the analysis of the case study in a small group. This will involve identifying strengths and weaknesses in the case study, augmenting and integrating additional material and considering the impact of regulation on the system.
Personal effectiveness: planning and organizing, flexibility and change management - the portfolio design requires planning ahead to see what can be done and adapting to changed circumstances as the work on the case study develops.
Personal responsibility and autonomy: independent learning, self-awareness and reflection, creativity, decision-making - all of these will be required in developing the case study and individual portfolio of evidence of the achievement of the learning outcomes of the course.
Communication: interpersonal/teamwork skills; verbal, written, cross-cultural - all of these will be developed in the small group work where students are encouraged to work as a team to develop the analysis of their case study. |
