Aims

The project aims to provide a supervised but student led learning activity in a
relevant area of engineering or technology. It aims to develop the academic,
technical and organisational skills required to undertake a substantial individual
engineering project from specification to conclusion.

Learning Outcomes

After completing the module the student should be able to:

1 Conceptualise and plan a supervised but self-led project

2 Carry out a self-managed programme of work according to good project
management practices
3 Research and analyse the established body of knowledge relevant to the project
4 Demonstrate deep technical understanding of their project
5 Communicate technical information clearly and concisely in written and oral forms
6 Critically evaluate all aspects of a project and formulate justified conclusions

Learning Outcomes of Assessments

The assessment item list is assessed via the learning outcomes listed:

Outline Syllabus

Projects may involve experiment, analysis, design and/or computation and should
allow a student to demonstrate achievement of the module learning outcomes.

Learning Activities

The project will be supported by regular tutorials with a project supervisor and
occasional seminars on topics relating to research methods, critical writing/thinking
and presentation skills.

M2Formulate and analyse complex problems to reach substantiated conclusions.
This will involve evaluating available data using first principles of mathematics,

Page 2 of 4
statistics, natural science and engineering principles, and using engineering
judgment to work with information that may be uncertain or incomplete, discussing
the limitations of the techniques employed.
M3Select and apply appropriate computational and analytical techniques to model
complex problems, discussing the limitations of the techniques employed.
M4Select and critically evaluate technical literature and other sources of information
to solve complex problems.
M5Design solutions for complex problems that evidence some originality and meet a
combination of societal, user, business and customer needs as appropriate. This will
involve consideration of applicable health and safety, diversity, inclusion, cultural,
societal, environmental and commercial matters, codes of practice and industry
standards
M6Apply an integrated or systems approach to the solution of complex problems.
M7Evaluate the environmental and societal impact of solutions to complex problems
(to include the entire lifecycle of a product or process) and minimise adverse
impacts.
M8Identify and analyse ethical concerns and make reasoned ethical choices
informed by professional codes of conduct.
M9Use a risk management process to identify, evaluate and mitigate risks (the
effects of uncertainty) associated with a particular project or activity.
M15Apply knowledge of engineering management principles, commercial context,
project and change management, and relevant legal matters including intellectual
property rights.
M17Communicate effectively on complex engineering matters with technical and
non-technical audiences, evaluating the effectiveness of the methods used.

B1 Apply knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering
principles to broadly-defined problems. Some of the knowledge will be informed by
current developments in the subject of study.
B2 Analyse broadly-defined problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first
principles of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles.
B3 Select and apply appropriate computational and analytical techniques to model
broadly-defined problems, recognising the limitations of the techniques employed.
B4 Select and evaluate technical literature and other sources of information to
address broadly-defined problems.
B5 Design solutions for broadly-defined problems that meet a combination of
societal, user, business and customer needs as appropriate. This will involve
consideration of applicable health and safety, diversity, inclusion, cultural, societal,
environmental and commercial matters, codes of practice and industry standards.
B6 Apply an integrated or systems approach to the solution of broadly-defined
problems.
B8 Identify and analyse ethical concerns and make reasoned ethical choices
informed by professional codes of conduct.
B9 Use a risk management process to identify, evaluate and mitigate risks (the
effects of uncertainty) associated with a particular project or activity
B10 Adopt a holistic and proportionate approach to the mitigation of security risks
B11 Recognise the responsibilities, benefits and importance of supporting equality,
diversity and inclusion.
