It\u2019s a big deal in our Department, partnered with J.P. Morgan, who plays the role of clients for our assignment. They even throw in a mini-competition, though our grades don\u2019t depend on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>BU Course Overview<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CiB is divided into these units: Intro to Reliable Computing Systems (this changes depending on your pathway) and Computing &amp; Society, which are fully CiB-based, and Data Management, which is half CiB and half exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_26705\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2024\/07\/CiB-group.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26705\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-26705\" src=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2024\/07\/CiB-group-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Our group on exhibition day!\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2024\/07\/CiB-group-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2024\/07\/CiB-group-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2024\/07\/CiB-group-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2024\/07\/CiB-group.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-26705\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our group on exhibition day!<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><b>Lead up to CiB<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before CiB kicks off, we start prepping early in the semester. We got sorted into groups of up to eight\u2014mine had a mix of Computing, Cyber Security, and Business Computing students. We had a few meetings to get to know each other and plan ahead with the materials we\u2019d need for CiB.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>CiB Experience<\/b><\/h2>\n<h4><b>Tuesday 7th May<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CiB officially started with a fancy launch event and a talk from J.P. Morgan. Then we dove into interviews with different stakeholders to figure out what we needed for our Incident Response System.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Wednesday 8th May<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We spent the day finalising interview questions and nailing down our system requirements. It was all about dividing up tasks and making sure we hit deadlines, especially for Computing &amp; Society and Data Management. Some of us tackled the Sustainability Report (C&amp;S) and Database (DM)\u2014I loved diving into databases, so that was my jam. Others worked on the system interface, risk assessment, and business report.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Thursday 9th May<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Everyone focused on their specific tasks, making sure everything was coming together smoothly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Friday 10th May<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We were in full swing, putting finishing touches on the Sustainability Report, SQL stuff, ERD diagrams, risk assessment, business report, and system interface.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Monday 13th May<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the Sustainability Report and Database done, we turned our attention to polishing the system interface and finalising the risk assessment and business report. I ended up taking on a bit more of a management role to keep everything organised.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Tuesday 14th May<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We were in crunch mode, adding final touches to the risk assessment and business report, and documenting our system interface. I also started piecing together a PowerPoint for our video presentation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Wednesday 15th May<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The risk assessment got wrapped up, freeing up some team members to help finalise the business report. Meanwhile, we were putting the finishing touches on the system interface and getting ready to edit our video for submission.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Thursday 16th May<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Everything was done and dusted\u2014final tweaks were made, and we prepped our exhibition stand, printing out our best work to showcase.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Friday 17th May<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Exhibition day was here! We set up our table with printed materials and laptops showcasing our system. Feedback was mixed, but we got some great comments overall. Winning the J.P. Morgan competition wasn\u2019t our focus\u2014getting a solid grade was what we aimed for.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction Hey there!
