The aim of this module is to give students an opportunity to carry out a project in an Industrial setting from beginning to end under the guidance of an individual supervisor. The project will be allocated with agreement between the academic supervisor, the industrial supervisor and the student.
By the end of this module, students will:
1. Analyse a given problem to create a specification and design a technical solution
2. Plan and execute the solution within timescales allocated
3. Undertake technical development of the proposed solution as appropriate to the student's degree programme
4. Evaluate the solution and determine if it successfully meets the problem specification.
5. Demonstrate high-level documentation of the programme of work and the outcome of the project.
Syllabus
This is a 30-credit module that will carry out a technical challenge within the context of the student's company. The work will be supervised by both an academic and industrial supervisor, with the industrial supervisor taking on most of the day-to-day technical supervision.
The student will be required to document the work through a portfolio that documents the problem specification, the design stages, the implementation, the evaluation and reflection on the project planning and outcomes.
The students will have bi-weekly meeting with their Academic Supervisors and frequent meetings with their Industrial supervisors (at least weekly) within the workplace.
This module does not appear to have a published bibliography for this year.
