DESCRIPTION:Judith Shawcross from MIERG is going to share her research and
  thoughts about student projects in IfM and their implications to our teac
 hing and learning.\n\nStudent projects are key features of IfM programmes 
 in both the Industrial Systems Manufacturing and Management (ISMM) MPhil p
 rogramme and the Manufacturing Engineering Tripos (MET). During these proj
 ects groups of students tackle a real company issue in the workplace in a 
 short period of time – often only two weeks and each student undertakes 
 four different projects. As part of doctoral research to identify how stud
 ents can be taught complex skill sets such as project skills during Higher
  Education\, an evidence based framework of activities that students do wh
 ilst on projects has been developed.\n\nThis framework has been used in pr
 actice to support both teaching and learning. It provides a common point o
 f reference for both tutors and students. Students have found it a useful 
 checklist and reference guide particularly in their first projects and som
 e project supervisors have also found it useful during discussions with th
 eir student groups.
