Description

This practical module sees students working together with Industry and Community partners on a project directly related to some of the most relevant and cutting-edge socio-technical problems from local and global perspectives. The projects will give students the opportunity to learn how to identify real world problems, develop understanding and application of systems thinking approaches and design processes. It will also enable students to develop their awareness of cultural, ethical and social needs in the socio-technical context. Students will work primarily in teams to carry out different activities and tasks associated with a themed project. Delivered using Project-Based Learning (PBL) this module aims to mimic the workplace giving students an enhanced understanding of what it is to work on these types of projects, to promote a positive work ethic, to promote self-reliance, and to increase employability skills.鈥��
