ABSTRACT: Melbourne Institute of Technology (MIT) is leading private provider that is offering course in Information Technology, Engineering and Business area. MIT offers capstone projects as part of the Bachelor and Masters’ courses. One of the Australian Computer Society (ACS) strong recommendation is to integrate industry based projects as part of the capstone projects. This paper explains the steps taken to ensure smooth running of industry based projects and to the required academic standard level. It is a complex process where industry based capstone project units involves number of variants: such as industry client, professional, internal project supervisors, common class, students’ groups, supervision class etc. So far process is a manual approach in recording data, but future plan is to automate the process with interactive online educational project management system.
