Students who work on these challenges will work in teams to research and scope the potential unmet needs of a wide range of target audiences. Students will work under a series of broad challenge themes, and with the resources of network partners that they drew on in Year 2. Mentors and coaches will work alongside academics for each of the student teams, and will facilitate students in seeking out transdisciplinary ideas and experiences to inform their design solutions. Designing “something completely new” will require students to generate and sift ideas, seek out appropriate testing grounds, and develop robust and flexible methods of working in an iterative, agile and responsive manner.
The aims of this unit are:
Students successfully completing the unit will be able to:
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, including lectures and practical activities.The project is intended to promote self-directed and collaborative learning, under guidance of an academic supervisor(s) (plus any relevant external third-parties).
An industry-facing, team-produced resource documenting the design process.
The word count will be shared across the group and may be scaled based on team size.
Individual Reflective Critique, 3500 words or equivalent, (50%). [ILOs 1, 2, 4]
An individual account and reflection on the process of research and idea generation.
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. INOV30003).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
