Projects provide the opportunity for you to engage in an extended piece of independent research. Projects are not extended labs or practicals you are expected to work primarily on your own, while liasing regularly with your mentor. Knowledge and skills gained from other units, and from their wider educational and working background {e.g. their rst degree which may be in a subject area rather than computing], in a major integrative exercise. The project unit is an ideal vehicle for this purpose. You will be expected to develop an idea (most likely generated by a member of academic staff) and demonstrate your ability to develop it further, producing a suitable artetact by applying their technical, analytical, practical and managerial skills in an integrated manner.
