324MAE - Individual Project

The document outlines the requirements for an individual final year engineering project. The project aims to give students practical engineering experience, integrate knowledge from various subjects, and develop personal skills. It requires a literature review, and may involve theory, design, experimentation, data analysis, or other work to achieve specific objectives. Projects must demonstrate knowledge of science, engineering analysis, design processes, current practice, and independent learning. The project topic must relate to the student's engineering program. Students will work with a supervisor to establish objectives and plans, complete regular work, and document progress in reports and presentations.

324MAE - Individual Project

Explanatory Note: You should read these before filling in your proposal. (Please do
not hand these note in with your form)

The individual final year project is an important part of any engineering course. A pass is
required for the BEng honours award.

The general aims of the project are:

1. To give you a realistic exercise in the practice of engineering at a professional level.

2. To be a vehicle for integrating the knowledge gained in several subject areas of the
degree course.

3. To allow you to develop their personal qualities such as initiative, imagination, creativity,
communication, organisation, employ IT effectively and solve non-routine problems.

4. It is difficult to generalise about the scope of projects. Invariably a literature survey will
be required to establish recent developments related to the project. The project may then
require work on theory, design, design analysis, experimentation, surveys, data analysis,
etc., as appropriate to achieving the specific objectives of the project.

The project must be mindful of and demonstrated EACH of the following learning outcomes:

1. Demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of underpinning science and mathematics and


associated engineering disciplines and evaluate their limitations.

2. Appraise critically the fundamental and/or computer based engineering analysis to


emerging technologies and unfamiliar problems in a systematic way whilst.

3. Evaluate design processes and/or methodologies in order to devise innovative designs


and/or solutions for unfamiliar situations.

4. Review extensive knowledge and understanding of current engineering practice and


appraise limitations and developments with respect to commercial and industrial
constraints.

5. Synthesize, develop, monitor and update a plan to reflect a changing operating


environment. Communicate effectively and efficiently through written and verbal
methods and learn independently.

The project must fall in the scope of YOUR programme of study. Your subject matter must
be related to the world of Engineering although comparisons can be made to other
disciplines. This document can form the basis of allocation of supervisor to your project. The
summary document will be further worked for detail through a Project Proposal document.

Notes on the document fields

The knowledge base required for a particular project will depend on the objectives and may
involve:
 Product Design  Engineering Management
 Mechatronic Systems  Solid Mechanics and Dynamics
 Engineering Applications  Analytical Modelling
 Manufacturing Technology & Materials  Product Innovation
 Mechanical Science  Fluid Mechanics
 Thermo-fluid Mechanics  Finite Element Analysis
 Design and Sustainability  Reliability & Durability
 Instrumentation and Control  Stress and Dynamic Analysis
 Kinetics &/or Kinematics  Thermodynamics

Your action:
 Establishing specific objectives in conjunction with the supervisor.
 Initial preparation and planning of the work.
 Regular work to progress the activities (learning required new knowledge or skills).
 Keeping record which document the progress of the work, in particular a logbook.
 Regular meetings with the supervisor to report progress and discuss short term objectives.
 Preparation of a report and a presentation, to communicate the project activity and the
outcomes.
