This program will be driven through a project mode and is suited to students of engineering and information technology. Participants are exposed to real-life projects and undertake specific modules of development-work, applying the best practices in software development, testing and documentation which meet industry standards. Participants have the benefit of close mentoring from high caliber industry professionals..

Students wishing to undertake project work in the Academy should possess demonstrable competencies in any, or some, of the following:

	C/C++
	.NET Technologies
	SQL and Oracle
	Java and web technologies
	Real-time operating environments

The key takeaways from the application project-work include:

	Apply software engineering principles to real-life application development
	Understand user requirements and validate "request for proposal"(RFP) documents
	Develop or select, suitable design framework, algorithms and database schema
	Develop application code using best practices of software development
	Build reusable components and libraries
	Address security and data protection issues
	Undertake unit, functional and field test of development software modules
	Create test reports
	Create user-manuals, software documentation and database schema
	Publish project report
