This unit forms part of the taught component of the EngD programme in Composites Manufacture. The student will conduct a mini case study of a particular business aspect of a polymer composites company or companies. The study should include a visit to (or information gathering from) at least one composites company, but may include visits to companies in other domains if appropriate to the case study.
The aims of this unit are to:
The students will be able to:
The learning outcomes align to A1, B1, B2 and D1 of the UK-SPEC
Note: The case study can be on any aspect of business practice that interests the student, although the chosen topic should allow exploration of some business aspects covered in the Business Skills modules (AENGM0022 and AENGM0023). The case study should be limited in scope to what data can be gathered from a single visit to the company (where permitted) or other small data-gathering exercise (which may be conducted online) plus supplemental desk-based studies.
