Description including Unit Aims

This unit is the final mandatory module in support of the Research Engineers EngD research project. It will take the form of a &�master class in two sessions&� to address key challenges in systems engineering that have emerged from the first 18 months of their Eng D research work. Each RE will identify a real challenge and submit it prior to the module. The RE will facilitate a team of about 5 peers (Other EngD REs) to identify and assess strategies to meet the challenge. The RE will then implement the strategy whilst maintaining a reflective diary and then produce a stand alone report on implementation and learning achieved. This will be presented and peer reviewed by the rest of the EngD cohort and it will be completed and lodged as part of the body of knowledge accumulated by the EngD networking centre.
