View source for Undergraduate research (Crucible theme)

Cambridge undergraduates study one subject, and do that very thoroughly. In a university with no "minor" options, how do students build interdisciplinary skills? 

One way is to spend the summer pursuing undergraduate research opportunities in other departments, via the Cambridge [[Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme (UROP)]]. Crucible members have led a wide range of projects in which teams of undergraduates gained experience of design research, creating advanced technologies informed by human and social perspectives.

Major undergraduate research project teams:

* [[Making mobiles tangible]]
* [[ReadYourMeter.org]]

Other design research opportunities for Cambridge students include:

* Computer science tripos [[group design projects]]
* Manufacturing engineering tripos design studio
* Masters in [[Interdisciplinary Design for the Built Environment]]
* [[Cambridge Digital Studios]]
* [[Interdisciplinary Design Project]] in Engineering
* Certificate in [[Humanities Computing for Languages (CHUCOL)]]

The [[Cambridge Design Education Forum]] involves members from each of these departments.
