Learning Outcomes: |
By the end of this unit students will be able to:
* Conceptualise project-management skills, completing their work to specifications and deadlines and communicating effectively with clients. * Prepare mathematical solutions to case studies. * Associate principles of industrial collaboration and problem solving in order to formulate an industrially oriented thesis project. * Design a project, by synthesizing problem solving, project management and project scoping knowledge and skills. |
Aims: | The activities of this unit will enable students to bridge the mathematical techniques they acquired in previous units with real-world problem solving in an industrial context. Students will put into practice the basic principles of industrial application and scope their summer project in collaboration with an industry partner. |
Skills: | Project design, project management, preparing mathematical solutions for an industrial client. |
Content: | Students will work on:
* Scoping the summer project. * 2 case studies accommodated to the groups they split into, according to their focus subjects: applied maths, stats, data science, or combinations of these. * The unit will be concluded with Problem Formulation Workshop. |
