Module Aims
To enable students to gain an appreciation of how their skills may be applied to projects within, and/or outside their own direct subject discipline. Students will be given opportunity to work collaboratively and reflect on the importance of group working skills and the learning achieved during the collaborative process.
Content Summary
To enable students to develop project management skills along with working as part of a team. The group project will require the students to actively collaborate with other members of the course cohort, and with individuals from other courses and with individuals from other courses (if appropriate within the project task) in the development of a project.
Small groups of typically 3-5 students will work as part of a team. Team membership will be determined by the Module Leader. The management structure of the team will be determined by the team.
The group project will enable students to realise the importance of effective teamwork and planning, and will typically consist of background research, planning, Pre-Construction, Construction and Handover of a designed brief.
The output would be expected to embrace all strands of the course and include the management of a project.
Regular review meetings will be held regularly.
