Prerequisite Modules:
Rationale and Purpose of the Module:
To enable the student to develop their ability to work on their own.
To familiarise the student with the process of research, development and design. To develop the students ability in terms of verbal and written communication.
Syllabus:
At the end of the third year the student selects a project title from a list. The student is expected to complete some background reading over the summer vacation. Each student is expected to progress their own project throughout their final year with regular direction from their supervisor. The project will be completed during the second semester and a project report will be submitted for grading. The subject of the projects will range from design and build to theoretical analysis.
Learning Outcomes:
Cognitive (Knowledge, Understanding, Application, Analysis, Evaluation, Synthesis)
On successful completion of this module, students will be able to:
1. Demonstrate the ability to develop original solutions to moderately complex engineering problems aimed at a transition to a sustainable energy system.
2. Develop and present a project plan, modularise project into work packages, identify resources required to complete work packages.
3. Demonstrate the working of the project to a panel of assessors and discuss its strengths and limitations.
Affective (Attitudes and Values)
On successful completion of this module, students will be able to:
1. Explain the contribution of their work in the transition to sustainable energy system.
2. Demonstrate an ability to work as an individual with support from a supervisor, drawing on knowledge and experience to solve problems encountered
3. Demonstrate an ability to apply professionalism and ethical behaviour in the context of the work undertaken
Psychomotor (Physical Skills)
On successful completion of this module, students will be able to:
1. Select and use the appropriate mix of technologies for the project at hand
2. Work as an individual, or as part of a team, with support from a supervisor, drawing on knowledge and experience to solve problems encountered
3. Implement solutions to technical challenges
How the Module will be Taught and what will be the Learning Experiences of the Students:
The final year project (FYP) is an individual project undertaken by the student with assistance from a supervisor within the department.
