The aim of this unit is to enable students to further develop the skills of managing a significant technical problem that is loosely defined, and the solution, or method of approach, that has much that is unknown. The output will be a dissertation.
Intended Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the course, the students will be able to:
ILO 1. have developed research skills and problem-solving abilities to a masters level
ILO 2. be able to solve scientific problems independently
ILO 3. have developed advanced theoretical, analytical, computational and/or experimental skills through application
ILO 4. be very competent at writing an engineering dissertation
Students will undertake individual project work under supervision by a faculty member.
No contact hours are timetabled but students will be expected to meet with their project supervisor and will be scheduled on a project-by-project basis.
100% Dissertation (maximum 15,000 words in the departmental template) (ILO 1-4) made up of two components: marking of the written thesis (80%) and oral defence (20%).
