￼This module is aimed at an in-depth specialisation of design, growth and fabrication that is accompanied with a substantial written component of 15000 words. The project is developed individually or in groups of max two students. The module is focused on developing an Integrated Research Thesis with a high-level material and biochemical resolution, while implementing intense environmental analysis and some computational simulations. Key importance will also be given to the growth agenda of each project and how this is accomplished in a both controlled environment and outdoors. In addition to regular tuition, each project will rely on the regular input of an external consultant (chosen in Term 4) whose expertise is key to generate scientific data and an innovative piece of bio-integrated work. The overall project will be orally presented at the end of the year with an accompanying final document (almanac or book) and a series of prototypes that will be exhibited in the BPro show in September.

The STEaPP DPA student is first prepared for returning to his/her own organisation and for gathering relevant research materials for his/her thesis (including the policy portfolio) and subsequently does a designated piece of field work and reporting 'on the job'. The module contents include DPA-specific issues related to becoming a "reflexive practitioner" (like how to handle potential conflicts between obligations and loyalty to one's employer and being an 'independent' doctoral students’independent’ doctoral student at UCL, and questions of research ethics). Some specific additions are given to the research methods already are treated in the STEaPP DTP Research Methods module. During reading week and during the last week of term 1, twoTwo intensive days (6 hour per day) will prepare the students. Besides In addition to discussing relevant literature, practitioners will be brought in to share their experiences in of combining policy work with reflexive academic work. During the rest of the 12-month period in which this module is running, when the students are back in their organisations, students and supervisors will maintain interactions via a dedicated Moodle platform. The students will also comment on each others each other’s' experiences; they thus constitute a sort of 'action learning set'. At the end of the module, students will hand in a policy portfolio and a reflexive piece of writing.
