Group Research & Innovation Project is open to students from all academic Colleges.
In this course, students work in small teams to address a complex real-world problem, opportunity or challenge. Teams are generally drawn from different disciplines, and students will be required to bring their disciplinary perspective to an interdisciplinary team. Teams will be mentored throughout their project, with an emphasis on developing strategies to deliver value to all project stakeholders. Teams will collaborate with an industry, government or university client, and students will be given an opportunity to engage with the innovation, research and development community to realise their ideas.
This courses is co-taught with undergraduate students, but postgraduate students will be assessed separately.
