The Team Project provides the opportunity for you to engage in industry inspired research work. It is undertaken in groups. Projects are suggested by industrial problems and supervised by Department of Computer Science staff or industry experts. You will form groups and choose a project which interests you, then refine the scope of the research by conducting a thorough analysis of the topic area and formulating a solution also with the help of their supervisor. The project is developed under strong supervision. You will present the project overview within the first few weeks of the semester and submit a report on the work at the end of semester.

The aim of the Team Project is to give students at masters level insight into the research process on industrial inspired problems. The objective of the module is for students to learn how to apply scientific research methodology to a small group research project.

• Have a very good understanding of the process of conducting research;
• Conduct a complete and concise literature review of the topic area;
• Form a research proposal and attempt to solve it based on a thorough understanding of a topic area;
• Present a research plan orally;
• Understand the process of working within a team

The course begins with a number of lectures/lab sessions outlining how research projects are conducted and the resources available to students. Soon after the project allocations each group meets frequently with their project supervisor to report on progress so far, and to allow the supervisor to provide feedback on progress.
