An Overall View

For Y3S1, I once again did the usual 4 modules per semester. Specifically, I did:

  • CS302 (DevOps)
  • IS453 (Financial Analytics)
  • Ethics&SocialResponsibility
  • CS440 (Introduction to Cybersecurity)

This post is just a quick way to summarise the semester, and also provide a quick way to link to my University Projects.

Fortunately (or Unfortunately, depending on the workload), nearly every SMU module at least to my understanding, has a practical project of some kind. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a full-blown research project, but there will inevitably be some kind of practical assessment in some form or another. For this semester:

ProjectDetails
CS302Implementing 3 comprehensive user stories based on self-chosen topic (Bidding Website), fully utilising DevOps during the development process
CS440Short Introduction into a chosen area of research about Cybersecurity (SideChannel Attacks)
IS453Creation of a Financial Scorecard based on given data, for a specific unique customer segement (Micro-Financial Technology Loans)
Ethics&SocialResponsibilityPresentation on ethical issues and concerns about a chosen topic (Ethics of Nuclear Energy)

I’ll link the references to the various projects here. Thanks for reading! 😊
