ELE802
Project for MEng (Credits: 30)

A design, development or research project in the field of electronic engineering, to be taken by all final year MEng students registered for an MEng programme of study in Electronic Engineering. This module aims:

• to give students experience of managing their own time to complete a project in engineering design, development, or research which is initially specified only in terms of the final desired outcome
• to teach students to develop a professional approach in their project work and to develop their communication skills, both written and oral, to a standard expected by industry of a new graduate.

At the end of the project, students should have demonstrated an ability to:

1. Apply scientific and/or engineering principles to the solution of a practical problem of engineering design, development, or research
2. Manage time effectively and produce appropriate reports on time
3. Make effective lecture presentations of their project work, and demonstrate the project in the laboratory
4. Write a project final report which is satisfactory in literary terms and which completely describes the project work and which critically relates the work to current technical practice
5. Defend the project work in an oral examination and display an adequate knowledge of all related technical fields.
