Academic Year 2022/2023

This module is the first part of the capstone project and will be completed in BSEN40550 Capstone Project 2. Together they serve as the capstone experience for our final stage undergraduate students and to apply the knowledge they have gained in their course to a "real-world" problem. For this module you will undertake a design, an experimental or a systems analysis project. You will have to: agree a plan with your supervisor, do a comprehensive literature review of the topic, review possible approaches to the problem, use scientific and engineering knowledge to formulate and analyse the problem.

The first part (this module) of the capstone project is the literature review and the outline plan for the remainder of the project. It should demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the principles, background and previous work of the topic of your project.
