Summary
Engineers in an industry usually become involved in extended practical or theoretical projects. This module provides an opportunity for students to work in a similar situation. Students indicate their project preferences, work under the supervision of an expert staff member, write a dissertation on their work, and present it publicly.
Reassessment of this module, if required, will be by resubmission of the final thesis.
Target Students
Final year Electrical and Electronic Engineering students registered for the MEng courses in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
Classes
- One 3-hour workshop each week for 2 weeks
- One 30-minute tutorial each week for 22 weeks
Assessment
- 80% Dissertation: Final Individual Project Report and Moderator Interview
- 10% Interim Report: Project Outline and Planning
- 10% Presentation: Final Individual Project Presentation.
Educational Aims
The module aims to give an experience of completing a major investigation on a topic with direct industrial or research relevance. The project will include planning the work to meet a final deadline, considering the broader implications of the work and reporting on the work in a structured written report and by an oral presentation.Learning Outcomes
By the end of the module, students should be able to:
LO1 Identify and critically evaluate the literature to solve a complex electrical and electronic engineering problem.
LO2 Plan, structure and continually review future project activities using engineering management principles.
LO3 Select appropriate engineering tools and processes.
LO4 Identify the expected outcome and risk of project plan and propose the mitigation actions where required.
LO5 Evaluate and implement effective methods for communicating a complex engineering problem to a non-technical audience.
LO6 Communicate the solution to a complex engineering problem to a technical audience.
LO7 Critically reflect on the process of solving a complex engineering problem and outcomes achieved.
LO8 Select and apply appropriate engineering tools to model and solve complex electrical and electronics engineering problems.
LO9 Apply comprehensive set of engineering principles to solve complex problems, where much of the knowledge is at either at the forefront of the topic or emerging.
LO10 Design solutions to complex a problem that evidences some originality that meets a specified requirement.
LO11 Interpret and critically evaluate available data to substantiate a conclusion based on core principles of mathematics and engineering.
This module contributes to the delivery of the following Engineering Council outcomes:
M1, M2, C3, M3, M4, M5, C6, M6, C9, M9, C13, M13, C15, M15, M17, C18 and M18
