EEEN40240 ME Elec&Comp Eng Project

Academic Year 2021/2022

Students will undertake a major independent research project in a selected area of Electronic and Computer Engineering. The project will begin in September and will run over Autumn and Spring trimesters, following a project plan drawn up by the student, in consultation with their academic supervisor.
Students will apply their knowledge and problem-solving skills to address a specific Electronic and Computer engineering problem. The project will involve a combination of research, design, analysis, mathematical modelling and/or experimentation that will be determined by the particular project.
Through the course of the project, students will develop the skills required to manage and organise a major autonomous project. In addition, they will appraise and assess existing theories and present the findings and conclusions of their work both verbally and in written format. The results of the project will be presented in a formal thesis.

Learning Outcomes:

The precise learning outcomes will depend on the individual project. In general, on successful completion of the project, the student will have the ability to:
1. Demonstrate an advanced knowledge and understanding of a specialised field.
2. Conduct a comprehensive, critical review of the literature and knowledge at the forefront of the field.
3. Identify a new engineering problem, taking account of current knowledge and debate.
4. Design an appropriate engineering solution to address the problem; develop and execute a project research plan.
5. Apply specialised knowledge to implement solutions and generate new insights through design, analysis, mathematical modelling and/or experimentation.
6. Develop new tools and techniques to solve engineering problems.
7. Analyse and interpret complex project outcomes and results, and discuss critically.
8. Formulate conclusions while taking account of the wider technical, professional and social context.
9. Communicate project conclusions, and the rationale underpinning them, effectively to both specialist and non-specialist audiences, verbally and in writing.
10. Collaborate with supervisor, co-workers and/or support staff to achieve a technical solution.
11. Continue to learn in a self-directed, autonomous manner.
12. Possess research skills hand have the ability to apply research techniques at an apprpriate level.
