This module provides an introduction to intensive group project work in collaboration with an industrial or academic customer. Students work in groups of at least four people on a project typically based on an idea from an industrial partner, or from an academic research project looking to transfer technology to industry or build a demonstrator/proof of concept.

The Group Design Project challenges you to tackle a substantial engineering problem in the same way that professional engineering teams deliver complex projects in industry. The ideas are developed through the output of individual Final Year Projects (FYPs) and include detailed design, experimentation, computer modelling and/or manufacture. Bringing together the knowledge and skills developed throughout your degree, you will work collaboratively to design, develop and evaluate an innovative engineering solution in response to a realistic design challenge.

Working within a multidisciplinary team, you will apply engineering science, analysis, modelling, experimentation and design methods to transform concepts into practical solutions. As your project develops, you will consider the wider responsibilities of professional engineers, including sustainability, ethics, environmental impact, legislation, commercial viability and the social needs of the communities your design will serve. Regular engagement with academic supervisors and, where appropriate, industrial partners will help you refine your ideas while developing professional communication and stakeholder engagement skills.

By the end of the module, you will have gained first-hand experience of delivering a major engineering project as part of a professional team, strengthening your leadership, project management and collaborative problem-solving abilities while demonstrating your readiness for graduate engineering practice.

Group theory is one of the great simplifying and unifying ideas in modern mathematics. It was introduced in order to understand the solutions to polynomial equations, but only in the last one
hundred years has its full significance, as a mathematical formulation of symmetry, been understood. It plays a role in our understanding of fundamental particles, the structure of crystal lattices and the geometry of molecules.

In this module we build on material from Linear Algebra II and will begin by revising the simple axioms satisfied by groups and begin to develop basic group theory by reference to some elementary
examples. We will analyse the structure of 'small' finite groups, and examine examples arising as groups of permutations of a set, symmetries of regular polygons and regular solids, and groups of
matrices. We will develop the notions of homomorphism, normal subgroups and quotient groups and study the First Isomorphism Theorem and its application.

We will also examine how the notion of a permutation group can be generalized to that of a group action on a set, and will show how to use this in certain counting problems arising in combinatorics. We will also see how to use group actions to prove strong results about the structure of finite groups. We shall study Sylow’s Theorems and some of their applications.
