Aims

The project aims to provide a supervised but student led learning activity in a relevant area of engineering or technology. It aims to develop the academic, technical and organisational skills required to undertake a substantial individual engineering project from specification to conclusion.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Conceptualise and plan a supervised but self-led project
2.
Carry out a self-managed programme of work according to good project management practices
3.
Research and analyse the established body of knowledge relevant to the project
4.
Demonstrate deep technical understanding of their project
5.
Communicate technical information clearly and concisely in written and oral forms
6.
Critically evaluate all aspects of a project and formulate justified conclusions

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Projects may involve experiment, analysis, design and/or computation and should allow a student to demonstrate achievement of the module learning outcomes.
Module Overview:
The project aims to provide a supervised but student led learning activity in a relevant area of engineering or technology. It aims to develop the academic, technical and organisational skills required to undertake a substantial individual engineering project from specification to conclusion. In the context of the MEng/BEng Control and Automation Engineering, a project with a detailed design and analysis of a control system is appropriate. For example, modelling, simulation and testing of a PID control system. The project requires you to demonstrate good project management, critical evaluation and presentation skills.
Additional Information:The project provides the opportunity to conduct a major supervised learning activity on a relevant engineering or technical topic. The project requires the student to demonstrate good project management, critical evaluation and presentation skills. In the context of the MEng/BEng Computer Technology analysis may include mathematical analysis and computer modelling. However, it is expected that a greater emphasis on programmes applications, embedded systems and communications will be included in an integrated system. All project work will have a complete analysis, mathematically based or otherwise. In the context of the MEng/BEng Electronic Engineering, a Project with a detailed design and analysis of an electronic circuit or function is appropriate. In the context of the MEng/BEng Electrical Power Engineering, a Project with a detailed design and analysis of a power electrical/electronic circuit or system is appropriate. For example, modelling of a AC Machine or Inverter. In the context of the MEng/BEng Control and Automation Engineering, a Project with a detailed design and analysis of a control system is appropriate. For example, modelling, simulation and testing of a PID control system. In the context of the MEng/BEng Electronics and Software Engineering, a Project with a detailed design and analysis of a software/hardware interface is appropriate. In the context of the MEng/BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering, a Project with a detailed design and analysis of an electrical/electronic circuit or function is appropriate. For example, embedded electronics may be used to control a power circuits such as a controlled rectifier for a specific task. Where this module is part of a Degree Apprenticeship programme, the knowledge learning outcomes are K4, the skills learning outcomes are S6, S7, S8, S9, S11 and S13 and the behaviours learning outcomes are B1, B2, B4, B5, B7, B11, B12 and B13
