Master's Final Research Project - Developing a Virtual Reality hearing tool for teenagers with Bilateral Cochlear Implants
The Module

The Master’s Project aims to provide students with the opportunity to work on a major piece of research in Design Engineering, using the knowledge, skills and attitudes learnt throughout the Master programme. Students are expected to implement a project at the edge of Design Engineering know-how, using new technology or exploiting scientific knowledge.

Awards

DESIRE (Design Engineering Selected Innovation REcognition) Award:

For modules where there is a design engineering output in the form of significant coursework, a module leader or delegated representative selects one item of output for the Design Engineering Selected Innovation REcognition (DESIRE). This is a prestigious award within the School, and something that all students will, we hope, aspire to win on a few occasions throughout their degree. DESIRE selected works need not necessarily be associated with the top mark or grade scoring project, and can be awarded to a group or individual.
