BSEN40710 ME Biosystems Engineering Thesis

Academic Year 2023/2024

Students will undertake a project involving experimentation, analysis or design. The results of this project will be presented in a formal mini thesis. Students will develop the skills required to manage and organise a major project. They will appraise and assess existing theories and present the findings and conclusions of their work both verbally and in a formal report.
