- create a project plan and monitor progress against the plan
- use available equipment, facilities and research resources innovatively to address their chosen research topic
- carry out some creative work independently while still requiring guidance from an experienced supervisor
- prepare and submit a formal project report for examination
- present their results to an audience and answer questions.
In addition, by the end of the group mini-project students will be able to:
