Disgrifiad cryno

Students must complete a substantial piece of technical and written work under the direction of a supervisor but involving self-discipline, organisation and initiative.

The project will be relevant to the student's degree scheme. The student will methodically apply practical and analytical skills and techniques studied during the degree.

The work involves developing software as the main part of the project or to support the project. The following project styles are possible.

• Developing software from an initial statement of requirements through specification and design stages, to successful implementation and testing.
• Researching a technical area, including developing software and methods to conduct and assess the research.
• Analysing data, including developing software and methods for the analysis and interpretation of results.

For students with a suitable background the project may contain a hardware element.

By working on this project, students will learn to apply and develop their skills from the degree scheme, complete the project and document their progress. The students will undertake tasks for the full lifecycle from specifying requirements for the project through to demonstrating that the software and analysis satisfies those requirements. The student will provide a critical self-evaluation of the work and its results.

Students will define a process that they will use to manage the work. This process involves producing appropriate documentation, including documentation of the design decisions made. Research focused projects will also emphasise research process and the evaluation of the results of the research.

Nod

To undertake a substantial piece of technical work that draws together the skills developed during the student's course. To report on the technical work in the form of demonstrations, discussion and a written report.

Cynnwys

Various written materials will be provided, giving guidance on carrying out the project, assessment issues, and the project submission. Students are expected to organise their time on the project each week and to see their supervisor regularly. This course is assessed on technical achievement, as evidenced by demonstrations, the technical work and results, together with a substantial written report.
