Accent is a resource website dedicated to Natural Sciences first-year students from non-anglophone backgrounds. The site contains vocabulary lists based on the foundation modules as well as resources from students and available support within UCL, in a searchable, topic-by-topic format.
Molecular and Business Modelling in Science
Marcel Mordarski (marcel.mordarski.19@ucl.ac.uk), Ryan Lau, Lukas Supragonas, Maja Walnik
A survey conducted within the UCL Natural Sciences community revealed that despite the students interest in the subject, academic experience often provides only an insufficient knowledge and understanding of molecular modelling. Moreover, according to most of the respondents, the only existing resources on MM neither extensively nor accessibly cover the topic, leaving many at a loss in attempting any simulation tasks at hand. In an attempt to improve this situation, our team created an introductory course revolving around the molecular modelling software LAMMPS. Beginning with installation and progressing to generating ones own simulations, we believe to have created a reasonably-sized course in the basics of operating the LAMMPS software. Another feature of this project is a tutorial on Supply Chain Analytics simulations in PuLP1, as well as some advice on comprehensive data collection by the means of conducting surveys.
Relational database for medical physics module prerequisites
Imogen Harrison (zcqsarr@ucl.ac.uk), Senta Neubueser
The project is aimed to produce a relational database to connect the modules with the prerequisite(s) required, with the aim of a student being able to find models that they are qualified to do for upcoming year(s). It would also allow students to plan backwards from a 3/4th year module they wish to take, to ensure that the appropriate 1st, 2nd and 3rd year modules are taken. This project would provide the stream representative with easily accessible information about prerequisites to enable them to more efficiently and effectively assist other students.
Navi-plus
Giyeong Lim (giyeong.lim.19@ucl.ac.uk), Diego Campos Caron
For the physically impaired, navigating through urban areas could be the equivalent of guiding one through a wild labyrinth. Every little bump in the road could an obstacle that they might find challenging and our team wanted to find a way to address and fix this problem. Thus, we started this project of trying to formulize a system that could safely guide and to further improve the public infrastructures that assist the physically impaired.
Supplementary Resources for NSCI0005
Francesca Ridgeway Bishop (francesca.bishop.17@ucl.ac.uk), Kate Ridley (kate.ridley.17@ucl.ac.uk)
This project aimed to produce a set of new online resources to support the teaching of NSCI0005 for first year students. The primary goal was to create a handbook that is filled in by students alongside the taught lectures. The handbook contains topic summaries, worked examples and practice questions for consolidation of knowledge. This will then becomes a helpful tool to support revision in the exam period.
Natural Sciences Journal
Fan Yang, Jitong Cai, Shujing Chen, Shanghai Gao
The journal consists of 3 parts: 1) general in formation about UCL BSc/MSci Natural sciences programme, 2) extracurricular activities/events and 3) articles contributed by students. We aim to add a little more in the future editions.
Natural Sciences Alumni Society
Callum Rowley, Alex Carroll
The Natural Sciences Alumni Society website will be a hub were UCL NatSci Graduates can keep in contact with their peers through newsletters and events. It also provides an avenue for the Alumni to give back to the current students. By utilising our connections to the Student society, we will be able to organise networking events and career talks.
The Making of the Antikythera Mechanism
Maurane Gisiger (maurane.gisiger.18@ucl.ac.uk) and Adnan Bader (adnan.bader.18@ucl.ac.uk)
The Antikythera Mechanism is a famous yet still mysterious artefact from Ancient history. In this project we wanted to take an interdisciplinary approach (History of Science, Astronomy, Engineering) to further the understanding of the object (video, online poster).
