In general, on successful completion of the project the student will have developed the professional skills and competencies required of a graduate engineer. The precise learning outcomes will depend on the particular project, but should include the ability to:
1. Describe and explain the scientific, mathematical and engineering principles relevant to the project;
2. Use the technical 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 by: discussing critically and drawing appropriate conclusions, taking account of the wider context of the project; analysing the contribution of the project towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals; summarising any limitations of the project findings; and noting any future work.
7. Take responsibility for his/her own work and manage, using appropriate methods, the execution of a professional engineering project safely and efficiently;
8. Collaborate with supervisor, co-workers and support staff to achieve workable solutions;
9. Present the project and results to both specialist and non-specialist audiences through written technical reports and oral presentations.
This module has a small amount of lecture content, including, inter alia: literature review, information skills, presentation skills and report writing. Most of the learning is project-based learning, driven by the student and guided by an academic supervisor. This is an important part of the formation of a professional engineer.
