==Group Design Projects 2014==
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.


We expect 86 students to participate this year. These will probably be arranged into 15 groups - 11 with 6 members, and 4 with 5 members. We plan to offer at least 17 design briefs - preferably 18 or 19 - to allow for some student choice, technical lossage or client withdrawal.
