Summary
: The project aims to give experience in the practice of engineering and scientific approaches at a professional level. It involves the planning, execution and reporting of a programme of work which will normally involve a mixture of experimental, and/or theoretical and and/or computational methods and analysis together with a detailed and critical review of relevant previous literature in the field. The detailed content and project balance relating to the extent of experimental/theoretical/computational/ design work is a matter for discussion between the student and his/her supervisor, factoring in the students course.

Educational Aims
● Deliver a detailed project dissertation involving engineering and scientific methods and analysis at a professional level.● Develop skills in the planning, risk, ethics, execution and reporting of a programme of work.● Perform cutting edge experimental, and/or design and/or theoretical and/or computational work● Deliver and critically evaluate a detailed review of relevant previous work in the field.(Note: The detailed content and project balance relating to the experimental/theoretical/design/computational work is a matter for discussion between the student and his/her supervisor, factoring in the students course). It may be linked to a research group and/or an industrial company.Learning Outcomes
LO1 – Demonstrate the ability to execute a successful individual technical project within time and budgetary constraints.
LO2 – Manage a research or industrially linked project to conclusion in the context of the scope and subject area of the project.
LO3 – Identify and critically evaluate sources of information to comprehensively understand the area of study
LO4 – Use appropriate tools and methodologies depending on the scope and subject area of the individual project (such as CFD, FEA, computational, design and/or experimental and investigative techniques etc).
LO5 – Communicate the outcome of the research in a technical dissertation and also via an oral presentation.
