CI6600 Individual Project 01-09-2022

The CI6600 Individual Project module aims to enhance students' research, analysis, and technical skills through the development of an artefact and a comprehensive report. Students will engage in personal research, manage their time effectively, and present their findings both orally and in writing. Assessment includes progress on the project, a written report, and an oral examination, with no requirement to pass each element separately for an overall pass.

MODULE CODE: CI6600 LEVEL: 6 CREDITS: 30

TITLE: Individual Project

PRE-REQUISITES: None

CO-REQUISITES: None

MODULE SUMMARY (INDICATIVE)


The goal of the module is to further develop skills in organisation, timekeeping, research
literature, developing and critically analysing results as well as reporting work verbally and in
a written format. The end result will be an artefact or artefacts which demonstrate creativity
and technical competence as well as a technical report.

AIMS (DEFINITIVE)
• To give experience of undertaking some personal research, analysis and the
development of an artefact, or an application of techniques from one or more of these
areas to a practical problem relevant to the chosen course.
• To demonstrate, independently and with supervision, the ability to develop a technical
solution by using a relevant methodology.
• To enhance written and oral communication skills and time management
• To provide preparation for future careers or further study.

LEARNING OUTCOMES (DEFINITIVE)


On successful completion of the module, students will be able to:

• carry out a literature search to summarise and evaluate background work relevant to the
chosen course, undertake an investigation of the planned topic and critically evaluate
the outcomes;
• plan tasks within time and other commitment constraints;
• produce a well-structured written report demonstrating a sound understanding of the
theory of the chosen project area including relevant references and use of language,
diagrams, tables and graphs where necessary;
• present or answer questions clearly and concisely in a structured interview about their
work;
• create an artefact relating to the chosen course;
• identify and take account of relevant legal, social and ethical issues.

CURRICULUM CONTENT (INDICATIVE)


The content will vary according to the project but in all cases will be under the supervision of
appropriate staff. Every student must attend a series of lectures designed to help them with
information searching, presentation and evaluation. Every student will be involved in creating
an artefact from the initial analysis, design, implementation as well as testing and the writing
of technical documentation.

TEACHING AND LEARNING STRATEGY (INDICATIVE)


The project module is simulating a professional studio environment to create an artefact whilst
going through the complete development process from initial concept to implementation and
testing.

Each eligible student is assigned a project with a staff member. There will be some formal
guidance aiming at the development of study, research, report writing and information finding
skills. The student is required to submit, at regular intervals, a project log to the supervisor.
AQSH: Template C5 2018-2019 (v1, July 2018) Page 1 of 3
Progress needs to be discussed with the supervisor and through prototype demos. Teaching
is by discussion during the meetings with the supervisor, directed reading and attendance of
project sessions. Learning is by discussion, independent reading and implementation of work
by which students will develop a range of intellectual, practical and transferable skills.

ASSESSMENT STRATEGY (INDICATIVE)


Students will be assessed by their development and progress on the project, the written report
of the project outcomes and by an oral examination. Development and progress will be
marked by the supervisor(s) alone; the written report and oral examination will be double-
marked. The overall module assessment will comprise marks for:
Progress – from the student's development and progress on the project throughout the period
of the module; this will take into account effort, self-reliance, initiative and work organisation.
Content – the creation of an artefact, the analysis, conceptual and technical design as well as
the complexity of the solution, testing and evaluation. The report, taking account of the
abstract, introduction and description of background, aims, outline of work undertaken,
formulation, solution, discussion and conclusion.
Presentation - from the oral presentation of findings, taking account of structure and
organisation of presentation, rapport with audience or interviewer, visual and/or audible clarity,
style, answering questions; from the written presentation of findings, taking account of
organisation of chapters and sections, logical structure, use of abstract and appendices,
tables, graphs, style, clarity of expression, accurate use of language, layout and appearance.
There will be opportunities for formative assessment during the module.
