Summary
A project-oriented module involving a review of publications and views on a topic allied to the chosen specialist subject. The module will also involve organisation and design of the main project. Skills will be acquired through workshops and seminars that will include:
• Further programming in MATLAB and /or MSExcel Macros
• Project planning and use of Microsoft Project
• Measurement and error analysis
• Development of laboratory skills including safety & risk assessment
Students will select a further set of specialist seminars from, e.g.:
• Meshing for computational engineering applications
• Modelling using CAE packages
• Use of CES Selector software
• Specific laboratory familiarisation
• Use of MSVisio software for process flow
• Use of HYSYS process modelling software
• Use of PSpice to simulate analogue and digital circuits
Target Students
Students on relevant MSc Engineering Programmes.
Classes
- One 3-hour seminar each week for 12 weeks
Assessment
- 40% Coursework 1: 2000 word literature review on a topic relevant to MSc programme.
- 60% Coursework 2: 2000 word max planning report; topics to be specific to individual MSc courses and specialist training
Educational Aims
