To enable the student to combine previously learned course material with their individual talents in order to solve real-life industry projects. To develop in the students the ability to organise and direct their own work and to present this work in written and verbal format in a proper and appropriate manner.

[Project Management] Students undertaking of this module must implement a project plan outlining various phases of the project. Estimation of goals and task scheduling must analysed, identified and prioritised. The project plan must be revisited throughout all stages of the lifecycle. [Independent Research] Students must demonstrate an ability to research and investigate aspects of the project independently. A proven aptitude in coordination of, and active involvement in, information gathering, analysis and formal presentation of findings must be exhibited [Knowledge Implementation] Implementation of the project must incorporate all modules associated within the project stream. In this manner students are guaranteed to be equipped with the essential tools to acquire further knowledge and insight. [Documentation Proficiency] As part of the module criteria a report must be completed to support the project. This should include the initial scope, methodologies applied and tools and techniques employed, in addition to the motivations for the project.

On successful completion of this module, students will be able to: Develop and present a project plan, modularise the project into work packages, and identify the resources required to complete work packages. Demonstrate the ability to develop solutions to moderately complex problems. Work as an individual and within a team, with support from a supervisor, drawing on knowledge and experience to solve problems. Report the work done on the project, including references to previous work, and recommendations for future work.

On successful completion of this module, students will be able to: foster the ability to recognise the potential for investigation in existing work practices provide students with a awareness of the potential research has to generate ideas and solve problems in an industrial setting

This module will be thought in a flexible mode; content delivery will be through online and offline video classes and short learning materials. Each student is required to obtain a suitable project based on an industrial need. Under the supervision of a member of staff, the student will progress along a logical path to resolve the specified problem.
