Case Study Of Cape Peninsula University Of Technology
Background of the problem or study [10 Marks]
Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) is rated as one of the technology universities in Africa. It is claimed to be the largest university of technology in the Western Cape Province with the number of more than 30000 students registered, with six campuses located across Cape Town. The university offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs in various fields of study.
CPUT is a diverse university with different students in terms of culture, race, language and region. The majority of students who are studying at CPUT are the poor students from the rural areas of Eastern Cape, with poor background living parents back at home struggling to find money to provide education to them and a better …show more content…
Those activities include burglary, robbery, noise, bullying, theft and many more, but I am focusing on burglary. Burglary has been the high reported factor for the past years in the university.

Research Methodology [15 Marks]

The research will also gather information based on victimised and witness students on what can be done to eliminate the increasing number of burglary reported in res management.
Design science research will be used as I intend in developing an android application to enhance the communication between two clients, students and security, to share information to improve the burglary
