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 student's ability in terms of verbal and written communication. Link to Module ID8097 M Graded

Syllabus:

Project Planning; Project Schedule, defined outcomes, Gantt Chart Project Implementation; Use of Log Book, Project Meetings, Project Research Interim Presentation; Written Report and Oral Presentation Project Analysis; Application of acquired engineering skills to subject area Project Reporting; Author a substantial engineering technical report Project Examination; Defence via Viva voce examination.

Learning Outcomes:

Cognitive (Knowledge, Understanding, Application, Analysis, Evaluation, Synthesis)

On successful completion of this module, students will be able to: Demonstrate the ability to develop creative and original solutions to engineering problems of significant complexity Show an ability to prioritise and modify an engineering project plan on a continuous basis Demonstrate capacity to work as an individual, with support from a supervisor Formulate solutions to day-to-day technical, interpersonal, resource and administrative project challenges Integrate technical knowledge and experience gained through previous course modules and industrial experience. Produce a substantial project outcome, which demonstrates a significant level of difficulty and effort on the part of the student, consisting of at least one of the following: a. experimental results b. theoretical results c. numerical results d. detailed design of a prototype e. physical prototype f. experimental rig
