Aims |
|
To give students an insight into applied or academic research To help students gain a better understanding of the needs of industry and academia and the opportunities available to them as physicists To give students experience in team work and project management To encourage self-assessment To improve communication with clients and with research collaborators |
Learning Outcomes |
|
(LO1) An understanding and experience of team work. |
|
(LO2) An ability to work in a team to carryout a research project set by a sponsor. |
|
(LO3) An understanding of how to obtain information, evaluate its relevance, write a scientific report and present a poster covering the relevant material. |
|
(LO4) An appreciation of the need to collaborate in order to satisfy a client's requirements. |
Syllabus |
|
The project is an exercise in working within a team structure to devise and report on a solution to a simulated problem. The solution will require the application of physics. Groups will be of three to five students with an academic observer. Formal meetings will be held to discuss approaches to the problem, assigning of individual tasks and co-ordinating the writing of the report. |
