Module Aims
To provide the student with the opportunity to carry out a major practical investigation, demonstrating planning skills, organisation skills and practical skills. A comprehensive report will detail all aspects of the work.
Content Summary
The project is a major technical, practical based assignment and will consist of planning and implementation phases. Projects will either be college based or industrially based; this decision will be agreed by the Project Tutor and Student at the beginning of the project. An industrial project must originate from the student’s workplace and there must be a suitable industrial tutor to oversee the work in industry.
Projects will normally be practically based and expected to integrate more than a single aspect of the course curriculum.
Further information is provided in a Project Policy document, which should be read in conjunction with this module information.
In the Project Policy document the rules for an industrially based project are explained, including the need for:
- A suitable Industrial Tutor
- Normally, at least one visit to the workplace by the University Project Tutor to view the project, and discuss
progress / authenticity with the Industrial Supervisor and Student
All projects must be supported by a Log-Book with appropriate technical notes in a chronological format, signed by the Tutor(s) on a weekly basis.
The solutions provided for a project must be appropriate and supported by full documentation in the form of a Project Report.
