MEEN40550 ME (Energy) Research Project Summer

Academic Year 2023/2024

A research project will be undertaken involving experimentation, analysis or design. The results of this project will be presented in a formal report. 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. The deadline for submission of the Final Report will be early in September.

4. Identify a new Energy engineering problem, taking account of current knowledge and debate;
5. Design an appropriate engineering solution to address the problem; develop and execute a project research plan;
6. Apply specialised knowledge to implement solutions and generate new insights through design, analysis, mathematical modelling and/or experimentation;
7. Develop new tools and techniques to solve engineering problems;
8. Summarise and present project results in a concise and appropriate format;
9. Analyse and interpret complex project outcomes and results, and discuss critically;
10. Formulate conclusions while taking account of the wider technical, professional and social context, particularly the contribution of the project towards the UN Sustainable Development goals;
11. Communicate project conclusions, and the rationale underpinning them, effectively to both specialist and non-specialist audiences, verbally and in writing;
