Aims
This module aims to build upon the Level 6 Electrical Engineering Design module, by providing an authentic design project in conjunction with an internal or external client group or company (typically a research group or local industry). It will require students to demonstrate substantial independent initiative, working with the client to develop and communicate a design specification and project plan. The participants will select appropriate engineering and design processes and techniques to solve the problem.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Work with a client to establish a set of requirements and specifications
2.
Actively manage the design process, while monitoring and reporting progress to a client
3.
Communicate design information and data effectively with a client
4.
Determine appropriate analytical approaches and apply them to the design of a solution which meets the client requirements
5.
Demonstrate professional interpersonal skills with both a client and a design team
6.
Identify relevant standards and apply them to the design process and validate designs to ensure compliance
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
Establishing project requirements in conjunction with an external or internal client Project planning and control to ensure an efficient, timely and effective outcome which meets client expectations Design delivery and execution of a technical design project, according to a plan Presentation of design solutions in a concise and professional way to an audience including the client, peers and academic staff

General Notes The project provides the opportunity to conduct a major learning activity on a relevant engineering or technical topic. The project requires the student group to demonstrate good project management, engineering skills application, critical evaluation and presentational skills in a team working environment. UNESCO Sustainable Development Goals Quality Education Gender Equality Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure Partnerships for the Goals UK SPEC AHEP 4 CEng. M1 Apply a comprehensive knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles to the solution of complex problems. Much of the knowledge will be at the forefront of the particular subject of study and informed by a critical awareness of new developments and the wider context of engineering. M2 Formulate and analyse complex problems to reach substantiated conclusions. This will involve evaluating available data using first principles of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles, and using engineering judgment to work with information that may be uncertain or incomplete, discussing the limitations of the techniques employed. M3 Select and apply appropriate computational and analytical techniques to model complex problems, discussing the limitations of the techniques employed. M4 Select and critically evaluate technical literature and other sources of information to solve complex problems. M5 Design solutions for complex problems that evidence some originality and meet a combination of societal, user, business and customer needs as appropriate. This will involve consideration of applicable health and safety, diversity, inclusion, cultural, societal, environmental and commercial matters, codes of practice and industry standards M6 Apply an integrated or systems approach to the solution of complex problems. M7 Evaluate the environmental and societal impact of solutions to complex problems (to include the entire lifecycle of a product or process) and minimise adverse impacts. M8 Identify and analyse ethical concerns and make reasoned ethical choices informed by professional codes of conduct. M9 Use a risk management process to identify, evaluate and mitigate risks (the effects of uncertainty) associated with a particular project or activity. M10 Adopt a holistic and proportionate approach to the mitigation of security risks. M11 Adopt an inclusive approach to engineering practice and recognise the responsibilities, benefits and importance of supporting equality, diversity and inclusion. M13 Select and apply appropriate materials, equipment, engineering technologies and processes, recognising their limitations. M14 Discuss the role of quality management systems and continuous improvement in the context of complex problems. M15 Apply knowledge of engineering management principles, commercial context, project and change management, and relevant legal matters including intellectual property rights. M16 Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader of a team. Evaluate effectiveness of own and team performance. M17 Communicate effectively on complex engineering matters with technical and non-technical audiences, evaluating the effectiveness of the methods used. M18 Plan and record self-learning and development as the foundation for lifelong learning/CPD.
