The precise learning outcomes will depend on the particular project. Please note that the codes given at the end of each Learning Outcome relate to the Programme Outcomes specified by Engineers Ireland for the Professional Accreditation of Degree Programmes.In general, on successful completion of the project the student will be able to:
1. Describe and explain the scientific, mathematical and engineering principles relevant to the project
2. Use the technical and biomedical literature, and other resources, to find and evaluate information relevant to the project
3. Identify engineering problems and formulate a project plan
4. Design an appropriate engineering solution to address the project objectives
5. Implement solutions through design, analysis, simulation and/or experimentation
6. Analyse project outcomes and results, discuss critically and draw appropriate conclusions, taking account of the wider context of the project
7. Take responsibility for his/her own work and manage the execution of an engineering project safely and in a limited time
8. Collaborate with supervisor, co-workers and/or support staff to achieve a technical solution
9. Present the project and results to both specialist and non-specialist audiences through written technical reports and oral presentation

Not applicable to this module.

• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment

Feedback will be given, on all activities, a few days after the presentation/assignment is submitted. The final assessment will consist of an interview between the student, the project coordinator and a second reader covering all aspects of the project.
