project based learning

Many of our courses now include ’project based learning’ where you will work in teams to build special projects. Various projects require you to design and make special devices, design new processes for making devices and practice what you learn in lectures. All students also do a placement in third year and do a major project in final year. Between the third and fourth years, students spend time on the Professional Experience Programme (PEP) - they are assigned to positions in companies across all sectors of employment; principally, but not exclusively, in either manufacturing or software companies. PEP is a chance to see how the real world' works and to put into practice many of the skills acquired from coursework. In final year, students work on a major project. Previous projects have included the design of software programs for operating an un-manned machine, problem solving with local industries and creating a 'factory of the future' that could operate over the Internet.
