Student mathematical modelling workshops as preparation for study groups with industry

Editor’s note:

Although we haven’t taken this Summit idea forward in a project this report and the student essay that follows were invited to give an explanation of the ‘study groups with industry’ concept staff and student perspectives on involving students in such activities and advice on making the format work for students. They are presented in the hope that they might inspire the reader to consider taking inspiration from this format to design an undergraduate group project task or modelling week.
