About this Unit
This unit requires students to initiate and conduct a major project with clients
from industry, research organisations or public utilities involved with the
use, service and/or management of agricultural or animals systems. The
project work includes a number of activities (eg developing project
proposal, methodology, data collection etc) negotiated with the client and a
project supervisor.
The unit will draw together all of the previous learning in the course as it applies
to the agricultural or animal system under review. The project will entail
interdependent relationships with the client, staff supervisor and other
resource people and will involve the full range of project management skills.
Students will be required to demonstrate their professional development at
the conclusion of the project unit.
