Notes on: [[What makes a good project?]]


We expect to have 99 students registered for Part 1B, so plan to have 17 project teams (3 teams of 5, and 14 teams of 6). We aim to advertise at least 19 design briefs, to allow for necessary cancellations.
In 2024, we expect there will be 138 students, so 23 project teams of 6. We aim to advertise at least 25 design briefs, to allow for necessary cancellations.
