Description including Unit Aims
The research project will take place in industry and involves an extended investigation into the design of an unfamiliar product, process or system. It offers the opportunity for an in-depth study of a specialised subject, and requires both research and practical application. Each project occupies normal industrial working hours for 4 months. Importance is given to the planning of the work programme, the setting and achievement of objectives, laboratory record keeping, appropriateness of the design (including costing where appropriate), analysis of the results and overall presentation of the work.
Intended Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of essential facts, concepts, theories and principles relating to an engineering problem; an awareness of developing technologies in the area, together with an appreciation of their work in the wider multidisciplinary engineering context.
- Apply appropriate mathematical and engineering tools to the analysis of the problem; to demonstrate aptitude in assessing possible solutions and the formulation of suitable designs.
- Demonstrate technical competence in the practical design of hardware and/or software, and in the use of measurement equipment and analysis tools. Assess the limitations of the system: including commercial and industrial constraints.
- Show independent learning and the skills to individually tackle unfamiliar challenges. Show aptitude in project planning and monitoring, and updating plans to reflect changing operating environment. Record procedures and outcomes accurately in a laboratory notebook.
- Demonstrate report structuring, writing and presentation skills by means of the interim assessment, poster presentation and project report. Field/respond to challenging technical questions as part of the poster presentation.
