Module Aims
The project module consists of a practically based singleton poject which will normally be identified by the student for execution in the field. All students must submit a formal project report. The project execution phase will provide the student with the opportunity to carry out, under limited supervision, a complex task that requires the deployment of established and leading edge techniques and principles, in a planned and orderly fashion. The outcome will be the realisation of an artefact (hardware and/or software) that meets a negotiated specification accompanied by a written account analysing and justifying the choices made in the design. this will be augmented by an interim report associated with the work together with a project log detailing the day to day execution of the project. On conclusion of the project, the student will be expected to submit a detailed report clearly explaining all aspects of the project from inception to conclusion.
Content Summary
The project is a major technical practical based assignment and will consist of planning and implementation phases. Solutions to complex problems are expected to be appropriate, well argued, and supported by full documentation. Projects will be practically based and normally will be expected to integrate several aspects of the discipline.
Project identification:
The project will normally be identified by the student to be executed in the field. the project identification proforma should be completed by the student and signed off by a senior person within the company who will act as the field supervisor and will confirm that resources are available to undertake the project in the field. the project identification proforma will be returned to the School of Electronics to be considered by the projects moderation panel for approval.
The Interim Report:
The interim report should be completed within one month of the commencement of the project and should include project planning basics such as the scope of the project,a work breakdown structure, planning methodologies used and the undertaking of a project risk analysis. Application of the work breakdown structure to develop project time plans and budgets should be considered. the use of project planning software is to be encouraged. the interim report will not be expected to exceed 2500 words.
The Execution Phase:
The project will be executed in the field with due consideration of the objectives detailed in the project handbook. A project log book will be maintained which will include details of the day to day operation of the project. It is envisaged that the log book will be signed by the field supervisor on a weekly basis. A copy of the log will be sent to the University of South Wales academic supervisor on a bi monthly basis. The final report ahould be of the order of 10,000 words and should conform to the guidelines detailed in the project handbook.
