Group design projects

The Cambridge undergraduate programme in computer science includes a strong design theme influenced by Crucible research. Students in their second year undertake an intensive design project working for an external client. Professional clients are often recruited via the Computer Lab Ring and Industrial Supporters Club.

A selection of these projects with explicit connection to interdisciplinary research concerns includes:

• African SMS Radio
• Energy market forecast
• Party Line Detection
• Critical Care for the World
• Scanning and feedback from chemical structures
• i-Professor
• Phone programming for children
