Computer Science Students Showcase Project Posters

First year students on the BSc (Hons) Computer Science degree recently showcased their academic research at a poster event.  

Designed to exhibit the work that they have done towards their Programming and Software Quality Assurance module, each student summed up their project on an academic poster, while also speaking to visitors about their methodology, how they conducted their research and how they reached their conclusions.  

Learning and Teaching Advanced Practitioner in Digital Learning and Data Performance, Daniel Rogers, said: “This is an important part of the Computer Science degree, and the posters count towards the students’ final degree marks.   

“It’s a chance to relay what can be very complex research and systems to both peers and to those not familiar with the subject. It gives our students the opportunity to interact with a wider base of people too, which can only be a positive, not only to speak on the work they have done, but to network, collaborate and make new connections.”  

Among the students was Sam Argyle, who had conducted research regarding software quality assurance and the pitfalls of when and how systems can fall and how to work through it with methodologies that are proven and can be used effectively.  

Sam said: “I really enjoyed this project, although I’ve since learned that I could have done more effective research, which is something I can definitely see. I am interested in a host of career paths from here, perhaps in cybersecurity but the best thing about this course is that you can keep your options open.”
