This module will embed learning within a framework of live design practice. You will work collaboratively alongside staff and other students on a range of live research and knowledge exchange projects with external clients. In negotiation with teaching staff, you will also have the option of undertaking a self-generated design project for an external client if the appropriate learning outcomes can be achieved.This module will require you to take responsibility for your own work, work to professional standards and to work autonomously within a larger design team and client body that may include several other professions. You will need to demonstrate leadership whilst managing complex open-ended technical design problems.At the beginning of the module, you will negotiate an Individual Learning Agreement with the teaching staff to define the learning to be undertaken, how it will satisfy the requirements of post-graduate (Level 11) study and how these activities will address the learning outcomes of the module. You will keep a learning journal throughout the module to document and critically reflect on your learning.In summary of the module, you will produce a multimedia portfolio that documents the range of professional knowledge, skills and critical reflection that you have gained and applied in this module. This documentary portfolio will be supported by a written reflective report where you will critically analyse and appraise the quality of your own work within the context of the professional environment you were working within.
