The aim of this unit is to enable students to learn the skills of managing a significant technical problem that may be loosely defined, and is without an obvious current solution.
Students are able to choose their research topic from a wide range of projects offered. Work may involve theoretical, analytical, computational or experimental studies. Students may suggest a project of their own, subject to the agreement of the Department
Undertaking a research project is a significant and wide-ranging activity and, as such, will contribute to a wide range of program learning outcomes (PLO), including those in category A Knowledge & understanding. The precise details will depend to some extent on the topic chosen.
On successful completion of the project, students will:
1. be able to explain the topic of their project,
2. have developed research skills and problem-solving abilities,
3. be competent in solving typical problems of a large project,
4. have developed/reinforced their theoretical, analytical, computational and/or experimental skills through application,
5. have become more well-organised and self-motivated,
6. be competent at writing an engineering research paper,
7. have acquired and practised oral presentation skills.
