  4. Information and Telecom Engineering? • Industrial Applications • how to make products • project management InformationSystems ComputerScience InformationEngineering Management Maths Sciences Electronics

  5. Why is IT Interesting? • It’s Creative • Problem Solving • Working alongside other professionals • Combines well with other Interests

  6. What do Graduates do? • “How do I computerise my business?” • “How can I collect wind data and display it on the web?” • “How do we detect bad cells from photos?” • Can I make this program “easy to use”?

  7. Student Project - Mind-maps

  8. Research ProjectChoosing Colours that Work • Some colours look good together • and some don’t • or don’t again • and again Wouldyou like to stare at this?

  9. Not easy - Colours have Meanings Red - excitement Blue - water, peace Green - life, nature Purple - royalty Dark - sophistication Beige - peace White - purity, innocence cleanliness
