| DESCRIPTION | The Engineering Project requires the student to methodically address an open-ended problem for which the aims and objectives are defined by the project supervisor prior to the commencement of the project and a programme of work is delineated and carried out in a structured way. Progress will be regularly monitored by the project supervisor. The type of work produced, design, experiments, simulation, analysis etc will depend on the project specification and constitutes a defined subset within the area of study currently under investigation. Towards the end of the academic year the student will deliver an oral presentation on the project and submit a dissertation. Study-unit Aims: The aims of this study-unit are for the student to address a set task using methodologies from engineering. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Address an engineering problem in a structured and well-defined manner as demanded by the relevant engineering methodologies. - Develop superior knowledge and provide explanations on the specific problem domain captured by the project. 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Describe the work performed during the project in a scientific manner by means of a dissertation. - Deliver technical presentations on the work performed. - Analyze, design and test engineering systems. Main Text/s and any supplementary readings: - Various papers and textbooks dependent on project area. - “Notes for the presentation of final year dissertations” by Prof. R. Ghirlando, Faculty of Engineering - available from Faculty web site. |
