Aims & Learning Objectives:
Aims: To provide an experience of project execution, management and reporting as close as possible to that likely to be encountered in UK industry.
Objectives:
After successful completion of this unit students will be able to:
demonstrate a critical awareness of the principal problems limiting progress/performance in the technical area of the project, outline the range of technique/solutions currently being brought to bear on these problems, explain the way in which their chosen approach builds on or compliments the current techniques/solutions, make where necessary engineering judgements in the face of incomplete information, demonstrate self direction and originality in tackling and solving problems.
Content:
The most demanding project objectives will be addressed that result in some contribution (e.g. new results, theory, software or hardware) to the field of study. A written Final Report will be submitted in September and a detailed oral report appropriate to a technical meeting will be delivered.
