Module Indicative Content
Students, working in groups of typically 4-5, will prepare a costed technical proposal including a plan of work, technical proposal, cost estimates, timescales and specification to meet a ?customer? requirement.
The requirements are in the form of products suggested by the students or the tutors. The student groups will then implement their proposals. This will involve design, hardware and/or software simulation, and testing. Whilst the end result is important, the roles and functioning of the team provide vehicle for reflection and learning.
