===Closing date for finalised design briefs is 2 November 2012===
All content on this site has draft status, subject to confirmation by both group project coordinators and project clients. There is no guarantee that these projects will be offered to students, either in the form described here, or at all.


===Number of groups in 2013===
==Intellectual property==


We expect 80 students to participate this year - these will probably be arranged into 14 groups
Notes on [[Intellectual property]]
- 10 with 6 members, and 4 with 5 members. We plan to offer at least 16 design briefs - preferably
17 or 18 - to allow for some student choice, technical lossage or client withdrawal.
