Indicative Content
Project
Students will work on a major project, the work on which will be co-ordinated by the tutors. The student having selected a project will with their tutor agree a provisional project specification.
Supervision
Each student will be assigned a supervisor. Each project will be agreed upon after consultation between the student, the supervisor and (where applicable) a host company. The student and supervisor will meet at regular intervals during the project to discuss progress, deal with any issues or problems which may arise, and ensure that the work is progressing satisfactorily.
Research
The student must research the project to produce a research manual, a final functional specification, and project plan at the 8th week. The project plan drafted by the student in collaboration with their tutor details the other project milestones. The design specification is iteratively refined during the project execution. All remaining documentation is due on the completion date of the project. Final project evaluation by all the tutors takes place in the 26th week.
Presentations
During the course of the year, the students will make individual presentations on progress at various pre-determined evaluation points. Where the project is research-only, appropriate project milestones and documentation are agreed between the tutor and student.
