Description

This unit provides the opportunity for students to formulate and undertake a structured and in-depth investigation of a real-life manufacturing problem. It will enable individual work-based learning and application of interdisciplinary skills learnt throughout the course including technical and professional skills. The project, supervised by an academic tutor and industrial representative, should be based at the students' employers. In exceptional circumstances, where it is not possible to find a suitable project at the employer, an alternative project with industrially-relevant content will be found at the AMRC or Faculty of Engineering. Assessment will be primarily through a professional style report, and secondarily through a proposal for the programme of work with critical review, poster presentation and oral presentation.
