Module Aims
To enable students to evaluate their technical and managerial skills of real engineering practice by incorporate essential features of industrial operations into a structured learning experience, including the design impact on societal, business, and customer needs.
Further considering an industrially related complex system engineering approach to a problem, students will be able to integrate their engineering, project management, teamwork, and business skills, operate to deadlines and meet specifications in an industrial/research type environment addressing the health and safety, environmental and commercial matters to the industrial standards.
Content Summary
The project is a major piece of group work and will consist of background research, planning and implementation phases of an industrially relevant project.
Small groups of typically a maximum of 3 students will work as part of a team involve with commercial or research project within the department. The management structure of the team will be determined by the team. Regular review meetings will be held, and progress of work will be monitored. Formal minutes will be kept. The effective communication on complex engineering matters to technical and non-technical audiences is achieved.
The project will involve a business/management dimension to deliver the solution to the complex engineering problem, this requires practical laboratory or workshop skills. More specifically making strategic decisions to deliver a chosen engineering project. This may include a strategic view, judgement decision-making, market requirements , professional code of conduct, product lifecycle, detailed costing justification, etc.
