Description In this module, teams of students propose and investigate a solution to a challenge of scientific, medical, economic or other significance in the broad area of the manufacture of biological products. After a preliminary phase in which each team defines a challenge they will address, they will work together to identify a solution to this challenge. The module will proceed in three separate phases over a 12 week period. The first four weeks will involve blended delivery of relevant content. This will be followed by a challenge-definition hackathon during which students will identify an area within which they will solve a challenge. Students will then undertake a five-week investigation culminating in an oral and written presentation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
