Aims: To provide the student with the opportunity to show creativity and initiative in planning and initiating work on a demanding Masters level experimental project in a specific topic area. To complete a literature survey within the chosen field and carry out an extensive programme of experimental work. To communicate the results effectively both in written form accompanied by engineering drawings where appropriate and orally in form of a presentation.
Learning Outcomes:
On completion, the student will have defined the objectives of the Masters level project, written a review in the field of the project, completed an extensive experimental programme of work and analysed the results appropriately. The student will have developed the skills necessary to communicate effectively the results of their research in the form of a substantial report including detailed engineering analysis where relevant and in the form of an oral presentation.
Skills:
Facilitated intellectual, professional, practical key skills.
Content:
Each student will execute an experimental programme relevant to the topic area which may include business, design, analytical and computational aspects.
