Research projects normally involve an extended investigation into the application of a novel component or technique, and they offer the opportunity for an in-depth study of a specialised subject. Each project occupies a nominal 180 hours of laboratory time (around 300 hours in total), and is carried out under the supervision of a member of staff. Importance is given to the planning of the work programme, the setting and achievement of objectives, the costing of designs where appropriate, and the presentation of the results of the work. The unit mark includes the assessment of the Seminar Programme that runs throughout the Autumn and Spring Terms on Thursday afternoons.
