Learning ActivitiesCommunication with supervisor, review of related literature, project plan with timeline and required resources Students research their chosen project topic under the guidance of their supervisor. A student's ability to apply design and problem-solving skills will be assessed through their written and oral work. Students are expected to propose multiple solutions to a given problem and decide upon the best solution given a set of practical constraints. Students must then demonstrate good problem-solving skill and use appropriate tools to implement their proposed solution and overcoming technical challenges Students submit a project plan, literature survey and a project methodology which sets out the necessary background knowledge, the scope and goals of their project and the method/s by which they plan to achieve their goals. Students submit reflection journals which sets out their self-reflection on personal learning outcomes.
