Engineering Triposes: your own base and a declaration

For Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering Triposes, the assessment brief takes precedence. Declare GenAI used to prepare summative work unless the brief says otherwise. Do not generate raw submission content without an initial self-written base or automatically generate references from content; tools managing student-identified references remain allowed.

Research: check RDM, funder and publisher conditions
