Design Project 5 involves the undertaking of the technical and commercial aspects of a significant engineering design project by students working in teams of about five. The projects will involve the design and, where possible, model or prototype construction of a multi-disciplinary artefact, to a given design brief. The projects will be run in association with university research teams, industrial companies or government agencies, and aim to give students team-working and communication skills together with the ability to tackle and solve real open-ended problems, to plan and organise their own work and to communicate their results, through written, oral and poster presentations. The project will also give the opportunity to focus on a particular topic and to use knowledge gained on other parts of the course.
