Course description

The information technology (IT) industry is globally interconnected. In many large software development projects work is distributed across sites in different countries. IT professionals are expected to be able to work collaboratively in team environments that have members from many different language and cultural backgrounds. In this course students will gain experience of the work practices in another country. They will be exposed to work styles, ethics, language, and cultural issues that will help them to be more effective in global software development projects. This course is offered on an occasional basis. The course availability, and details of the program, will be advertised to students early in the semester prior to the planned trip. Students will be required to submit an application for approval to enrol in this course. For information about how to enrol in this course, please email; studentenquiries@eecs.uq.edu.au
