This was their last assessment as undergraduates on the programme. Students analysed and summarised their project laboratory work carried out over the semester, and designed, prepared and presented a poster to staff, industry representatives and fellow students. Each student presented a 5-minute pitch and answered questions on their project by the assessing staff members. Feedback from both students and staff was that this was a really enjoyable way to discuss their project work and to finish their four years at WIT.
