Brief description
The purpose of this project is to give students the opportunity to bring together the practical skills and theoretical understanding that they have acquired from their course at their home institution.
By working on this project, the students will learn to apply and develop their skills to the selected problem, complete the project and document their progress. The students will develop a complete product from the stage of specifying requirements through to demonstrating that the product does indeed satisfy those requirements. This process involves producing appropriate documentation, including documentation of the design decisions made. Research focused projects will
Aims
The 3.5+1.5 agreement allows students from an overseas institution to take a major project module with the department as part of their home institution’s undergraduate scheme. This module is required to allow registration of these students. Academically, the module introduces the students to the academic procedures and requirements in a UK university. This module will prepare the students for progression to a taught masters course within the department, subject to successful completion of this module
Content
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
