The group meetings will be used to discuss research-related issues that will enable students to develop key skills such as planning a project workload, writing a literature review, developing a methodology appropriate to the research being undertaken, how to develop a project poster, and how to write a project proposal and final report. Individual meetings with research supervisors will be used for students to discuss various topics such as project progress and to resolve any issues that might have arisen as well as obtaining formative feedback.  1. Use a combination of general and specialist engineering knowledge and understanding to optimise the application of existing and emerging technology. 2. Apply appropriate theoretical and practical methods to the analysis and solution of engineering problems. 3. Provide technical and commercial leadership. 4. Demonstrate effective interpersonal skills. 5. Demonstrate a personal commitment to professional standards, recognising obligations to society, the profession and the environment.
