| Requisites: | This unit is only available to students on Department of Physics or Natural Sciences degree programmes. |
| Learning Outcomes: |
After taking this unit, the student should be able to:
芒锟铰esearch the background to the project or design study using academic journals, textbooks and other text-based and computer-based resources;
芒锟铰ynthesise their knowledge and understanding of physics and/or mathematics to formulate a solution to a real-life problem posed by an industrial 'client';
芒锟铰emonstrate good experimental, computational and/or analytical skills, as appropriate to the project;
芒锟铰emonstrate industry, motivation, innovation and initiative;
芒锟铰ork successfully within a team;
芒锟铰repare and deliver an oral presentation and write a report on the outcomes of the work. |
| Synopsis: | You will investigate an aspect or application of physics or mathematics in response to a real-life scientific problem set in an external industrial or research context. You will gain an insight into the application of physics and/or mathematics in an industrial or commercial setting, develop your experimental and/or computational skills, and enhance your transferable skills such as team working, communication, problem-solving, self-directed learning and project management. |
| Content: | Industry team projects are carried out in teams of 4-6 students in response to real-life scientific problems posed by an industrial client. The students will have to apply their knowledge of physics and mathematics to the tackling of these problems, which will involve experimental investigation or modelling of an application of physics or mathematics. The students will be acquainted with the project brief by the client and work on the project under the facilitation of an academic. Assessment is carried out by means of an oral presentation and a written report, a copy of which is provided to the industrial client. |
