It represents the culmination and consolidation of the student’s research within their chosen project area.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Apply comprehensive analytical secondary research to a design problem.
2.
Undertake comparative analysis of products and markets as a research tool to evaluate and propose potential solutions.
3.
Construct a robust argument for the design problem based on secondary research
