Summary
In this module a student will continue project work started in module A through the spring semester of second year. They will be assigned to an individual supervisor who will be a staff member in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. The student will carry out a practical or theoretical industrially relevant project, which could be undertaken within industry. The student will be expected to complete the research or development project by achieving the research goals and write a draft research paper.
Reassessment, if required, will require both research paper and viva to be repeated.
Target Students
Only available to MSc students on the 2 year MSc program from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
Assessment
- 10% Progress Report: 10 pages
- 30% Viva Voce: 30 - 60 mins
- 60% Research Paper: 10 pages
Assessed by end of spring semester
Educational Aims
The module aims to give experience of completing a major research investigation with industrial context within the topic area of their MSc course, including planning the work to meet a final deadline and reporting on the work. The final output will be in the form of a Research Paper. Supporting material may be submitted. The research paper and by a viva voce examination attended by supervisor, moderator and (where appropriate) industrial mentor. This module concentrates on the final delivery of the project objectives and communication of these results.Learning Outcomes
By the end of the module, students should be able to:
- LO1 - Achieve particular long term objectives set at the start of the project in Module EEEE4139.
- LO2 - Apply knowledge from their MSc in carrying out analysis, design, modelling and/or testing of an engineering component or system which is industrially meaningful.
- LO3 - Identify key results that could be used as the basis of a research paper.
- LO4 - Communicate their findings and developments through a draft research paper and informal oral presentation.
This module contributes to the delivery of the following Engineering Council outcomes: M1, M2, C3, M3, M4, M7, M16 and M17.
