This course offers the opportunity for you to engage in applied research stemming from a technology related issue. Key areas of interest include rapid prototyping, virtual environments, nanotechnology, and a virtual TV studio, but other areas are also viable.
You are invited to propose themes of enquiry relating to your chosen technologies and to engage in applied research based on hypothesis and experimentation.
You are expected to become familiar with the processes involved in the development of Intellectual Property including the complexities of collaborative partnership arrangements. In some technical areas the issues for exploration involve the refinement of particular techniques or the introduction of new approaches. However, in the case of rapid prototyping and nanotechnology, the technologies in question present opportunities for diverse kinds of experimentation and raise fundamental questions about the nature of the technologies and what they can offer to the development of new conceptual ways of working.
