The ANU TechLauncher teams are in the third year or later, including masters.

The projects range from helping collect the requirements and build a prototype including selecting the tools and methods, to working on already developed requirements. The customer can be an individual who knows nothing about computers, up to a major software company with strict procedures. One team I tutored were building a biometric feedback system for a psychologist treating people with a fear of flying. Another was a engineering company needing to simulate a new processor for military radar.

The students have already done years on tools and techniques, so the emphasis here is on teamwork and communication skills: can they produce something useful, soundly designed, which the customer is happy with?

There is an overview at: https://cs.anu.edu.au/TechLauncher/current_students/course_outline/#techlauncher-overview

Shayne Flint and others who developed the program, wrote a paper about it: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7942964

Here is a later paper on my bit out it: https://doi.org/10.1109/TALE48000.2019.9225921
